How to Install Rhapsody Software

Video Transcript

"I'm Nick Brosco on behalf of Expert Village, and in this segment, we're going to learn how to install the Rhapsody software onto our computer. So now that we've signed up for an account and downloaded the software program to our computer, we now have to install the program so we can run it and have access to all the Rhapsody songs as well as manage some of our own. So back where the last segment left off, let's find the file again. Here it is. This is the Rhapsody Jukebox Installer program. And we're just going to double click it. You should be greeted by this Rhapsody installation window that says Welcome to Rhapsody. So we're going to go ahead and click next to get started. There's an end user license agreement. So we're going to go ahead and accept it. Then it asks us where we want to install the program. So we're just going to leave the default file path, and I'll choose to add a desktop shortcut for Rhapsody. And this says that it's going to add an icon to the Windows Quick Launch Toolbar. And then this confirms that it's going to launch Rhapsody after we finish installing it. So we're going to click next. And Rhapsody begins installing. The installation time may vary depending on the speed of your computer. Once the installation has completed, Rhapsody will launch. Before Rhapsody launches, a dialog box comes up that says Rhapsody Setup. During this process, Rhapsody will download and install additional components. Choose which files you want Rhapsody to play, and also choose to install any additional offered software. Go ahead and click next. Rhapsody will begin checking for updates. The setup then asks you which music format you want to set default to Rhapsody. I happen to like Windows Media Player playing all these formats, so I'm going to uncheck all of these so that whenever I double click on any of these audio file, Rhapsody won't try to play it. But Windows Media Player will. So I'm going to go ahead and click on next. And then it says Rhapsody Setup is complete. Thank you for choosing us. So go ahead and click finish, and Rhapsody opens. Once Rhapsody opens up, a pop up box will appear asking you to sign in. So go ahead and sign in now with your email address and your password. When you've entered in your email address and password, go ahead and click sign in. And that concludes this segment on installing the Rhapsody software to your computer."
