eMusic love/hate

I’ve been an eMusic subscribe since 2003.  Have generally liked it, but they just revamped things and I can’t tell now.  They’ve made changes before, but this is pretty sweeping.  They got more labels & artists signed up – yay!  It costs more per track now – boo.  Some albums with > 12 tracks (hardcore!) cost only 12 track credits now – yay!  Some 3-track albums now cost 12 credits – boo.  Still no DRM – yay!  Still no way to get lossless encoding – boo.

Yeah, I dunno.  Make this stuff too hard and/or expensive and/or frustrating and people will go elsewhere.

One thought on “eMusic love/hate

  1. I just read “Free” by Chris Anderson and have concluded that in order to keep up with technology, young kids, etc., I have to start stealing shit on the internet. Now.

    No, really.
