Sprint has added two new streaming audio partnerships for users of their Multimedia series phones. Last week Sprint teamed up with Sirius to provide streams of 20 Sirius stations including common genre stations (pop, country, etc.) and stations devoted to periods in rock history. Today Sprint announced a partnership with Rhapsody to provide 5 of the online music service's streams as well as a stream of west coast radio station KCRW's podcasts and another channel of rap loops to rhyme over. Subscribing to each partner's channels will cost $6.95 per month.

Kinda pointless

Nice, except for the fact Cingular now has the Motorola ROKR so you can have 1,000 songs on a phone/iPod and not have to pay the 7$ a month just upload what you have on iTunes now.

Get a call put the music on pause take the call and start up again. Can't do that with streaming audio.

does it cost minutes to listen

MurdocThC

no it doesnt cost minutes...you subscribe for $6.95/mo and you can listen to it as much as you want. the rhapsody one isn't as good as the sirius one, though. there's not as many channels and it seems to buffer more than the sirius satellite radio. ...
