Rhapsody offers 60 days of free music ahead of Spotify's U.S. launch

As the blogosphere continues murmuring about the impending (but repeatedly delayed) arrival of Spotify on U.S. soil, Rhapsody is taking advantage of the extra time by doubling down on free music. New users can now enjoy a full 60 days of free tunes on their computers and mobile devices.

The hope, obviously, is that users will like Rhapsody enough to become paying customers and stick around. Rhapsody offers a very similar experience to Spotify after all, but Rhapsody is already available to the music-hungry masses in the U.S. With iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry apps, offline storage support, and a reduced monthly rate of $10, Rhapsody is definitely worth taking for a test drive.
