eMusic: a no-brainer for indy & classical fans
The truth is I have eccentric tastes when it comes to music. It is very rare that I haphazardly wander into a disc I really want to buy at a local Mega Electronics Chain®. Even then I’ll only know if I made a good choice when I listen to it, at which point it cannot be returned. For all of these reasons I decided to try a music service. Of these services I chose eMusic, here’s why:
- No DRM. Plain ‘ol MP3s
- Quality bitrates ( >192kbps)
- Works on my linux media server (no client necessary)
- Cheap: 75 songs a month for $20. That’s about 6 cds.
- Great selection of jazz, blues, classical, folk, indy rock and many other genres
