(*Sorry for that NY Post-style hed; I’ve been in NY all week.)

Apple just approved that Rhapsody app that everyone’s been so excited about. Now anyone with an iPhone or WiFI-connected iPod Touch can get virtually any music they want, streamed to them, wherever they are, whenever they want.

It’s the first time Apple has approved a music-on-demand application for the iPhone. I am so happy.

The service, which I’ve been testing on my iPhone for the last week, is $15 a month, or, as Rhapsody likes to say, costs about as much as a CD. (It’s free to download the app, which comes with a free 7-days-but-you-gotta-cough-up-a-credit-card-first trial.) While you might expect perfection for that kind of dough, the Rhapsody app still needs a bit of work. Its biggest problem is the music streams at a miserly 64K bps and sounds a little thin. A Rhapsody spokesman said the company is “hoping” to push it to 128K bps “later this year.”  Welp, that’s good enough for me: I’m going to upgrade my account so I can use it in the meantime…
