Update: I just got word from iRiver that--unlike with the Sansa-Rhapsody deal--you will not need to buy a new 2G Clix in order to enjoy the Rhapsody DNA experience. Current owners of the player will get access to a free firmware update, which is expected to become available on the iRiver Web site sometime in July. Very nice.
This morning, iRiver officially announced a partnership with Rhapsody that optimizes the second-generation Clix for use with the music service. Although the player was already compatible with subscription tracks from on-the-go services (Rhapsody included), it now includes Rhapsody DNA. This new software integration adds Rhapsody-related interface options (see pics) and lets To Go subscribers transfer Rhapsody Channels to the player. Also, Clix players sold after today will come in new Rhapsody-branded packaging. The partnership is basically all about branding--though you won't be seeing an "R" attached to the end of the Clix (as with the Sansa e200r). Still, although the Clix interface was already great, the optimized experience does make it a bit better for Rhapsody To Go subscribers.

For more than five years, Jasmine France has covered a variety of tech products for CNET--from scanners to keyboards to GPS devices--but she's happiest where she is now: sitting atop a pile of MP3 players, "testing" every music service known to man, and jamming a variety of earbuds in every shape and color into her absurdly small ears. E-mail Jasmine. 
---I appreciate you contacting the iriver America Customer Support Team. Unfortunately, there are no announcements regarding this matter. Please visit the website at http://www.iriveramerica.com for any future updates.---
And here is the response from Rhapsody:
---I understand that you need verification on the usage of the Clix 2 device with Rhapsody.
I regret to inform you that we are not officially supporting iRiver Clix 2 device with Rhapsody and for updating the firmware of the device, I recommend you to contact the device manufacture.---
I sent both iRiver and Rhapsody a link to this article. So... now i'm a little confused.
