One of the glories of streaming all your music is that you never have to sync any of your devices with each other. There are no CDs to burn or playlists to transfer; just open a browser or app and all your music is waiting for you.
Rhapsody is bringing that streaming portability to the Wii U with a new app released today. Users can download the free Wii U app from the Nintendo eShop to access Rhapsody’s 35 million-track-strong streaming library.
The new app is the first on-demand streaming service for Wii U owners in the U.S. It joins Rhapsody-owned Napster apps available in Europe and Latin America. The new app helps it draw in users who want access to music on more devices.
Rhapsody has also launched products for cars and kids to help differentiate its streaming music service from competitors. While many services have a similarly-sized catalog, Rhapsody is working to gain new users with specialized offerings for accessing its library easily in any situation.
Seattle-based Rhapsody has seen soaring subscriber growth recently, but it has also seen record losses in its push to compete with Spotify, Apple and Amazon.
The new app is available now. It requires a Rhapsody subscription to access the full streaming library, but new users can start a 30-day trial.
