Just installed the new Rhapsody app on my iPad, figured I'd test its new offline streaming capabilities, and hit a snag (well, really more of an…
annoyance): I have to deauthorize Rhapsody on my Nexus One first. Not a big deal, deauthorizing isn't hard, but it is frustrating that they limit you to one mobile device at a time. I believe they limit you to up to 5 PCs at a time, which is more reasonable, imagine what'd it would be like if you had to deauthorize your Sonos every time you wanted to use Rhapsody on your PC.
I get why they do this -- they don't want people sharing accounts -- but I use my phone and my iPad in very different contexts and having to deauthorize one device to use the other is not a good user experience.
UPDATE: Awesome, wasn't glossed over that detail about Premier Plus, thanks everyone for pointing that out!

$15 seems pretty reasonable for three separate devices, especially in the context that you can't share accounts with other people. It makes sense that you would be listening on only one mobile device at a time.
If Rhapsody can run in the background later this year when iPhone OS 4.0 arrives for iPhone and iPad, I'm seriously going to consider this.

Rhapsody's got two plans now - Premier and Premier Plus. As far as I know, Plus should allow for you to have 3 devices authorized at once. Plus is $5 more a month.
