How to Purchase Tracks from Rhapsody

Video Transcript

I'm Nick Brosco, on behalf of Expert Village, and in this segment, we're going to learn how to purchase tracks. So our Rhapsody subscription will allow us to stream or play back as many songs as we want for that monthly fee. But in order to take those tracks and burn them to a CD or share them or anything like that, basically use them off of our computer, we need to download the tracks to our computer or purchase the tracks. And you will have to pay 89 cents per track for that, in addition to the subscription fee to use Rhapsody. So to purchase a track, first let's find a track that we want to purchase. And you can do this by searching out by artist, or album, or track, or any of the methods that we discussed earlier. So here I have an album, and under the album, I can see all the tracks on this album. And I can see where I can play back the track or add it to my library. If you look on the right side of the track description, you'll see a button that says "Buy MP3", and you'll see the price. And, generally, it says 89 cents. Sometimes you'll see something like this where it says, "Album...", and that means album only. So you'd have to buy this whole album to get that track. It cannot be purchased independently, as you can see here. So let's say I want to buy this track right here, track seven. So I'm going to go ahead and click on "Buy MP3". And if you hover, it says, "Buy this song as MP3". Go ahead and click it. And you're greeted with a purchase confirmation dialog box, almost like a shopping cart. So we see the track, the description of the track, and the amount. Verify your total amount, 89 cents in this case. If you have any Rhapsody coupons, you can redeem them here. But since I don't, I'm going to hit "Continue". Your purchase is processed, and then you should get a confirmation that says, "Your purchase is complete". I'm going to go ahead and close the window. Now if we look down here at the bottom at the status bar, we can see the progress of our track downloading. Once your download has finished, we can go back over here under sources and click on "My Library", and confirm that the track has been downloaded. Here it is under "Track". If we notice under the track type, the track type is "Purchased". And we see a dollar sign confirming this. This means that the track is ours. It's been saved to our hard drive, and we can burn it to a CD. And of course, if we double click this track, it begins playing immediately. And that concludes this segment on purchasing tracks with Rhapsody.
