So I’ve been a member of eMusic, a digital music download service for about 3 and a half years now.  It is far more superior than any other kind of similar service out there.  I think I started out with a plan that was like 10 bucks a month for 15 songs, but have gotten a little out of control and am up to 50 songs a month for 20 bucks.  What I like so much about eMusic (as compared to iTunes) is that the songs are DRM free.  You can play the songs as many times as you’d like, and in as many computers, iPods, smartphones, etc. as you’d like.  Their selection definitely works for me; however they do not have many major artists.  So if you’re all about the Billboard Top 50, then go overpay for crappy music on over at iTunes.

So my point to all of this is, I don’t really want to put ads on my site.  For starters, I’m pretty sure only like 10 people grace the presence of this site anyway.  But, since I am such a fan of the product, I may from time to time put up a banner for eMusic.  If you sign up for the free trial I get paid!  Haha.   I figure I give them so much of my money I my as well try to get a little back.

Anyway, here’s the official jargon:

eMusic is the #1 site for independent music, with a library of over 4,500,000 MP3s. eMusic sets itself apart from other services by offering MP3s free from copy protection. This means that eMusic customers truly own the music they download. Our MP3’s play on any portable music player (including the iPod and Zune), can be downloaded to unlimited computers as well as burned to CD. Other digital music services either charge extra or do not offer the flexibility eMusic provides to their customers.
