I just stopped in at Best Buy and they are no longer stocking the R series. They still have a few 2 and 4 gig models, but I wanted the e280R.

Is the Rhapsody version being discontined? It's no where to be found on the Sansa site although it is still available to purchase at the Rhapsody site, although at a higher price than Best Buy was originally selling.

If being discontinued, what is the future for Rhapsody compatible Sansa players? My understanding is that the R version worked better and more seamlessly with Rhapsody To Go and you could load Rhapsody channels which you cannot do with other "plain" Sansa players.

Any info would be appreciated.

thanks!
