Decent albums/tunes on emusic.com (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

Hiya, I'm subscribed to emusic and I find it pretty good but sometimes find it hard to find 90 tracks a month I wanna download from it.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Are there many Irish albums on it?
That Congolese (?) album someone posted a link to was amazing.

What do you need to sign up for a free account? Ive done it already but if i use a different credit card will it work again? anyone done it a few times?

 

[simp]

Used to be that you could sign up once per credit card number, then cancel...

www.emusic.com/ge gets you 100 free downloads if you look like a new customer.

Best things I've downloaded were Richard Youngs' Sapphie and a bunch of Arthur Russell stuff (Springfield EP, Loose Joints, etc.). I didn't keep it going after the free trial ended, though, in part because I couldn't pay the subscription by debit card and in part because I'm happy buying higher-bitrate tracks off Bleep/Boomkat whenever I feel like mp3 shopping.

The best thing about Emusic is that charging is done per track so jazz/whatever albums with two or three long tracks turn out really cheap. On the other hand, some classical albums have around 50 tracks, meaning that nobody would ever download them...

 

[kevin gallen]

Damn it, i just signed up for the 50 offer and missed out on the 100. Apparently the acts you download during your trial period dont get paid.

I guess thats why a lot of major labels are not on emusic

Didn't know that, though I guess it's not surprising.
