panamagixxer Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A little behind the curve, but I just started playing with Rhapsody and it is extremely cool. I have not had any problems with the system, except my eye sight makes me want to buy some bigger TVs. I assume when the 7" Battery operated touchscreen (no idea what the real name is) comes out you will be able to do everything on it like you do on a TV - search artist, song, etc.? Does anyone know this for a fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes, the 7" wifi will act the same as the other touchpanels, giving you a consistent interface with the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I still haven't tried Rhapsody out. Everyone is talking about how great it is, maybe I will give it a whirl.Did I hear somewhere that they offer a free trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamagixxer Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes - they offer a 14 day trial - if you love music (I am stuck on 80's hairbands) you will be blown away with how many songs they have. My issue is I can't spell worth a crap so some of my searches can take a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I believe it's 30 days free trial through Control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 When your dealer adds the Rhapsody agent, by default it should populate with the trial account information for your controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a tad bit worried about spending (a guess $1,500) on the 7" remote and having it in a plastic glad bag to protect it when we are all in the hot tub, but hell, life's a gamble.

ILoveC4 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I don't know that the iTouch would work when the ambient temperature was the same as your fingertips.I could be wrong but I think the extreme heat would make in ineffective.Panama, to answer your question - yes. There is an application called ControlUI that turns your iPhone/iPod Touch into a touch panel. It retails for $299. The problem for your instance thought is at this time the only feature not supported is Rhapsody. To my knowledge everything else works 100%. I personally don't have it......yet. I don't think I can hold out much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebery Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 wouldn't you have the same problem with a 7" touch screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The 7" is a different style of touch screen, it is not glass and heat sensing like the iPhone/iPod touch. That is why you can use a stylus with the C4 touch panels, but not with an iPod Touch/iPhone. They require the heat/energy of your finger.That was one reason (among many) I got rid of my iPhone - you couldn't use it with gloves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will be version 1.5 or something when it's released. There is a screenshot that has been posted here from someone who is beta testing it.

Schrader Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I never could find the Control4 Rhapsody trial, so I just used the Squeezebox one.http://offer.rhapsody.com/30d?ocode=squeezebox&pcode=squeezebox&rsrc=0109&cpath=partnerwebStill anxiously awaiting the Rhapsody support on ControlUI.

ILoveC4 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It works very well. You can download the app on your ipod and then put it in demo mode before you buy the license.Just search the app store for Control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It works very well. You can download the app on your ipod and then put it in demo mode before you buy the license.Just search the app store for Control4.Just remember, demo model does not let you control your system as a demo. It is a canned preprogrammed model that justdis plays the features and capabilities of the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
