eMusic

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

eMusic is great. Really, really great. You should subscribe with them. First of all, they have DRM-free music that you can play anywhere: any MP3 player (including iPods), any operating system (including Linux and the BSDs). Secondly, they actually have really great music. This weekend, I picked up some great tracks from the likes of Atmosphere, Eagles of Death Metal, Har Mar Superstar, Haley Bonar and Jeff Hanson. I cannot recommend this site enough — tracks end up being around 25¢ a piece (40 tracks per month for $9.99 a month), and they’re all high-quality MP3s, with full ID3 tag info. If you ask me, all in all, it’s a much better place to get music from than the iTunes Store.

If you sign up using this URL, you even get 50 free tracks. How sweet a deal is that?

Oh, and for the cynics, they didn’t pay me nor bribe me. This is a company that actually “gets it”, and I want to give them props because of that.
