How to transfer Rhapsody to iTunes for iPod

Music purchased from Rhapsody is under DRM protection, which stops
customers from playing the downloaded music with other incompatible
devices like Apple iPod and Microsoft Zune. If you don't continue to
pay, you won't keep the music when the subscription expires. As we all
know, iPod is one of the most popular and successful MP3 players. iPod
owners can purchase various music songs from iTunes Store and listen
to them with their iPods. However, if you prefer Rhapsody and find
some songs in Rhapsody that are unavailable in iTunes store, yet you
do want to enjoy these songs witn your new iPod, you are meeting the
headache of Naspter being incompatible with iPod. So the following
tutorial should be the solution.
