The list of subscription-ready devices grows every day. At this precise moment (September 23, 2005), this is the definitive list of Napster To Go compatible players. The secret behind these devices is the necessary secure clock built into them, which enables subscription music to be transferred and played on the unit. For those of you keeping track at home, the name for this technology is referred to as "Janus."

If you're wondering, this is not a "best of" list or anything. While some of the players here happen to be our favorites, this is an objective list (not to mention alphabetically organized) to inform you which players work with Napster To Go.

Creative Zen Micro (5GB)

Not only is it easy on the eyes (available in many colors), but it's also compatible with a very wide range of downloadable music (just about everything except for iTunes).

iRiver H10 (5GB)

The iRiver H10 isn't perfect (what is?), but its advanced features, touch pad control, and nice color screen keep it on a par with the competition.

iRiver H320 (20GB)

As did the phased-out H120, the H320 will attract those who value features, superior audio playback, and recording quality over style (40GB also available).

Samsung YEPP YH-820

Samsung's microdrive isn't quite as slick as the iPod mini, but it's smaller and offers features that the Apple player lacks, such as recording capabilities and a photo-friendly display.

Samsung YH-925 (20GB)

This player didn't do so hot in the Player Bout against the iPod; however, the iPod isn't compatible with Rhapsody--so in this article, it's a winner.

Samsung YH-999 PMC

Creative and iRiver were the first to market a Portable Media Center, but Samsung took the time to get the design right (for example, it's thinner).

Toshiba Gigabeat (20GB)

As the challenger in a recent Player Bout, it was no match for the iPod, but it's still a competitive video/photo player.

We should also mention that the following cell phones/handhelds are also compatible with Rhapsody To Go. (Note: Many require the purchase of NormSoft's Pocket Tunes Deluxe.)
