Actually it is getting better

I know this isn't the place for this discussion, but the last comment is such tosh. I now have 200 albums in my saved list of new exciting music, like this album, that I never would have discovered if it were not for emusic. The only problem is that I discover it faster than I can download it!!! (and the other problem is that sound quality isn't that great and the ends of tracks get clipped on continuous albums and I don't trust that with the new regime they are not going to change my plan without warning and some albums are divided up into too many small tracks and there should be a system to lower the total album cost in these cases ...and...oh well..im still here

Emusic went downhill fast, too bad

Not only does the switch to the new payment system suck, so does my inability to use the download manager, which freezes every time I try to download a full album. So for my $5.99, I downloaded zero tracks. Tech support only suggested downloading each individual track, which in this case mean $.69 a track, which comes out to $11.04. I've used EMusic for 7 years. Unfortunately, I re-upped for a full year before the pricing switch-over. I now get the prioviledge of wasting time and money every month dealing with this cheapskate, janky site. As I said, EMusic totally sucks now!

They fought fevers and argued politics along the way (Alan was a life-long lefty), ending up in Washington D.C., where they donated hundreds of cylinders to the Library of Congress's Archive of… more »

Where Did the Blues Begin?

By John Morthland, eMusic Contributor

The biggest debate in blues circles these days is, "where did the blues begin?" Ever since the blues revival of the 50s and 60s, the answer has been "the Mississippi Delta." But in recent years, more than a few blues buffs have argued, that while the Delta is where the harshest form of blues indeed gelled, there is very little evidence to suggest that blues started there. Further, Delta blues in its heyday was almost… more »
