All of the MP3 files purchased through Rhapsody can be used on any device, including an iPod.

Apple iTunes, to this point, has managed to fend off every single challenger that tried to take them down. It has built up a list of rivals, and defeated just about all of them.

Rhapsody is hoping to make a serious push for that number one spot though with their expanded online music store.

The idea behind the new set-up for the online music store is to no longer compete with the Apple iPod, but instead to embrace it and fully support it.

Neil Smith, vice president of Rhapsody stated “We’re no longer competing with the iPod. We’re embracing it.”

All of the song soffered will be DRM-free, unprotected MP3 files, meaning they can be used on any device.
