Rhapsody’s 10.5 million-track music catalog is now available for the BlackBerry (News - Alert). An announcement regarding the launch of its acclaimed mobile application for the BlackBerry has been made by Rhapsody. With this announcement, Rhapsody is now available on Apple, Android (News - Alert) and RIM. Unlimited on-demand access to more than ten million songs is provided to subscribers with the premium digital music service, Rhapsody.


The award-winning music service can be accessed from anywhere with a network connection by Rhapsody subscribers. Similar to the Rhapsody apps for Apple (News - Alert) and Android, BlackBerry subscribers can enjoy their playlists with the app Rhapsody for BlackBerry. BlackBerry subscribers can also discover new music through playlists and radio stations. Rhapsody’s renowned music editors are involved in programming the radio stations.

In a press release, Brendan Benzing, chief product officer for Rhapsody, said, "We are committed to bringing the Rhapsody experience anywhere our subscribers wish to enjoy digital entertainment, be it the mobile device, MP3 player, home audio system or television. Paramount to this is creating an optimal experience that is tailored for each specific device, exemplified by the BlackBerry app."
