www.emusic.com SUCKS. It sucks in a huge way. It sucks with a strength that would embarrass industrial vacuum cleaners. Seriously. They have NOTHING there that's good. More than 1,000,000 songs, they say! Sure, more than a million songs of SUCK!

Seriously, what kind of music service gives you NO results for Bare Naked Ladies, or REM, or Third Eye Blind, or Matchbox 20 or Evanescence, and has only ONE album of Pink Floyd, and that's The Wall! And no Beatles! No Aerosmith! How do you make money on a monthly subscription music site that has nothing but tribute bands, super obscure stuff, and kareoke music? (I'm not even kidding here...)

Okay, and they seem to have a decent selection of classical. Maybe I'll go snag all that Tchaikovsky, or something...

My favorite MP3 site is Napster Http://www.napster.com check it out if you would like 99 cents a song I put 10.90 in a mnt and can dl about 100 songs or 95 with dual vid types Rob

Well, the trick is that you get 50 free songs from eMusic... of course, that was what I noticed when I was there. That they were, indeed, TEH SUK. *grins*

C'est la vie. Now I know why the cards were given out for free at the Con. Foo.

Sure, but as I understand their DRM, if you want to stop /using/ Napster, your MP3s suddenly become unreadable.

Limited licence/royalty payments on their parts?

"Now, let's see... we can either go for 10,000 classic tracks from the best bands as voted by Rolling Stone, Q, and a variety of other sources..."

"And the alternative?"

"Well, for the same amount of money we can go for 1,000,000 unsigned, Z-lists, expired copyrighters, tribute bands and kareoke hits of the 80's."

"So... we'd be like MySpace, but we'd be able to bandy about the phrase 'Over a Million'?"

"That's right."

"Get someone to make the word 'Million' nice and shiny. And get me some tea."
