As they jockey for position in the crowded music streaming sector, Spotify, Rdio, Sony, Rhapsody and others are innovating to find any competitive advantage. This morning Rhapsody launched their strategy that follows a path already tread by Spotify – apps. Unlike Spotify, however, Rhapsody first app SongMatch, is fully mobile.

  
Launching first for Android, [Rhapsody SongMatch](http://www.rhapsody.com/songmatch.?ref=hypebot.com) is powered by Gracenote. It uses the smartphone to listen to a song  
playing on any device and identifies the artist, song name and album to  
match, store and share. Rhapsody subscribers can also listen and  
download full tracks of matched songs or explore deeper. All tagged songs are  
automatically stored and saved as a playlist for future access.

SongMatch will launch on other Smartphone platforms soon, according to Rhapsody. The  
company is working other free music apps that are complementary to Rhapsody’s on-demand music service.
