TiVo Adding Rhapsody Music Service

TiVo Adding Music Through Rhapsody

TiVo and Real announced a partnership yesterday that brings the popular Rhapsody service and its over four million songs to your TV (or, preferably, your TV that's connected to a home theater system). For $13 - $15 a month, you get access to the award-winning Rhapsody subscription service, which lets you "rent" any of its four million songs as long as you keep paying the monthly fee.

TiVo has been losing subscribers to the DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) offered by cable and satellite companies. TiVo is trying to convince consumers that its recorders are more than just DVRs, by offering extras like music from Rhapsody and downloadable movies from Amazon's Unbox movie service. These are cool services and extras, but unless you've got a sweet home theater setup with multiple speakers, do you really wants to listen to music on your TV?
