Until this week, when Rhapsody added non-DRM MP3 downloads, it was impossible to redeem the Rhapsody downloads earned with "My Coke Rewards" points.
However, it can be done now! Here's the method:
- Go to Rhapsody and create a free (limited to 25 song plays) account.
- Go to My Coke Rewards and choose the Rhapsody song download reward you want (either unspecified, Rap, or Country) and write down the coupon code on the next page.
- Go to Rhapsody and sign in to your account.
- click on "My Account" and you'll see your account info
- On this page there is a box to redeem a coupon code. Type in your Coke Rewards coupon code.
- Your account will be credited $.99 and you can then surf to your desired download.
- click the "buy MP3" link and follow the instructions. When you get to the checkout page, you'll see the credit applied to your download.

Thank God for this -- and I hate Rhapsody DRM -- I am still having serious problems with Rhapsody and DRM software on my new Lenovo -- it keeps saying I don't have DRM software, it downloads crap again and again, and I'm still not able to use my Rhapsody To Go subscription. So I am limited to use my old Dell laptop. It really bugs me.
DRM is the devil.
I agree, funoka. I've been buying from Amazon more and more lately. I love iTunes, and it's convenient to get songs while I'm in the program, but I just hate the DRM imposed.
You're right -- Amazon is really the way to go -- syncs up very nicely with iTunes.
The funny thing is that I was a big Rhapsody proponent when it launched. I will keep my To Go subscription, but I basically have stopped buying music from Rhapsody and use Amazon and iTunes to manage my library these days.
My gripes also extend to the Sansa Rhapsody 8GB player I have had for two years -- they need to come up with something that has more storage.
