SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/04/12 -- Playing on Xbox 360® has taken new meaning. Today, Rhapsody announced that its premium on-demand music service is now available on Xbox LIVE®, bringing millions of songs, playlists and radio stations into millions of living rooms.

"Many families will be gathering around their Xbox this holiday season, and this year, Rhapsody can provide the soundtrack to those memories," said Brian McGarvey, vice president, business development, Rhapsody. "People talk about social music as something that happens online, but there's no better place to share music than with family and friends at home, especially this time of year."

Rhapsody designed the experience specifically for Xbox, with stunning graphics and integration of voice commands and gestures with Kinect for Xbox 360. Like Rhapsody's apps for Smart TVs, the Xbox 360 app will make it easy to quickly find and play your favorite music, with radio, new releases, popular albums and member playlists featured prominently. Listeners have access to the entire Rhapsody catalog, as well as featured editorial stations that are hand-crafted by Rhapsody's expert staff.
