SanDisk has agreed to load RealNetworks’ music platform, Rhapsody DNA, onto its Sansa e200 devices. As a result, this fall the devices will come loaded with 32 hours of music from Rhapsody To Go, RealNetworks’ music subscription service. For $14.99 a month, subscribers can then change the music library to suit their personal choices, or leave a portion of the library open to selections made by Rhapsody based on users’ music preferences. A limited free trial subscription to Rhapsody To Go is also included.

SanDisk Sansa media players offer a mix-and-match storage option. The media players come with slots for SanDisk’s MicroSD memory cards, which currently come with a capacity of up to 2GB. Listeners can keep a core music library on the device, and a rotating music playlist via multiple memory cards.

In addition to the MicroSD expansion option, Sansa devices also have an FM tuner/recorder and can be used as a voice recorder. The devices were initially priced to be competitive with the iPod. The Sansa e280, the largest capacity released so far, has 8GB of storage, building up to 10GB with the addition of a 2GB MicroSD card. It’s priced at $249, which at the time of release was a better deal storage-wise than Apple’s closest equivalents–the 30GB video iPod priced at $299 and the 4GB iPod Nano for $249. On Sept. 12, however, Apple introduced an 8GB iPod Nano for $249, a 4GB for $199 and a 2GB for $149. Microsoft has not yet released pricing for the Zune, but it has said that it will be competitive.
