MP3 player?

I tried looking around for this thread and googling it I couldn't find anything. But my question is what MP3 players works with the USB port? I have an iPhone, but I want to use Rhapsody-to-Go, put unlimited songs on an MP3 player, and it won't work with Rhapsody. So I was curious if anyone uses an MP3 player that works other than an iPod or iPhone?

Oh no, I don't buy the songs. It just lets you transfer unlimited songs to an MP3 player for a monthly subscription fee. But it won't work with iPhone/iPod. I recently bought a Scandisk View and it wouldn't work on the USB port in my car. Why I was wondering if anyone had any MP3 players that would actually work >< , thanks for the reply though =)

I think Sansa uses Raphasody. I had the Sands view and it wasn't so bad, but I like my touch better. Then again, I never used the monthly payment stuff.

Most of the generic MP3 players it will see it as just a flash drive. If there are drm(Digital Rights Management) on the songs this may be causing an issue. You can always use the audio input.

I know in all the publications I've seen it has only said iPod and I haven't seen anything saying it supports other MP3 players. I would just use the other audio input. The user interface the Cobalt has when connected is a hassle to use anyway imo.

My no name Cowon, and my 8gig flash drive work just fine. It is the drm's(software) that is preventing this from working.
