Emusic

June 30, 2003

I think I'm going to take the plunge. I am going to join Emusic. I think that the iTunes music service is easier to navigate and I would rather use AAC files, with their better size to quality ratio, but iTunes doesn't offer 192 kbps files. Yes, AAC sounds better, but a 128 kbps doesn't compare to 192 kbps and these are going to be my permanent copies of these files.

I'll join at $14.99/month for the minimum of three months and download as many tracks as I'd like. I plan on building up my jazz and classical collections. I never end up buying all that much and if I can get 15 John Coltrane albums it is already worth the $45. They may not have a very complete collection of albums, but the amount of stuff I will get for the very low price will make me happy.

I will sign up next week and begin my downloading spree. Can't wait.

Comment #1:

Even with the new pricing models, Emusic is still the best deal out there. You can get a typical 12 song album for about $3. Try doing that on Itunes. Also, if you like independant music, Emusic is definitely the place to be. You won't find most of these bands on Itunes even at the higher price. Emusic is the best deal out there. Check it out.
