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.
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.
