Rhapsody president Jon Irwin, claims that Rhapsody’s sales are ‘up about 10%’ and attributes this increase to the launch of its mobile app. The app has turned around fortunes for Rhapsody, which was losing subscribers before it launched late last year.

(Rhapsody reported 675,000 subscribers once, but has stopped disclosing figures since it spun off as an independent company last year.)
