I thought it was great until I moved and got incessantly busy and didn't get around to downloading my 17.00 worth of monthly songs. so that money does not rollover and is lost, or gained for them. I will NOT renew yearly subscription.

In summary, I would not recommend eMusic to a friend.

Pros - Plays good music, touch screen, comes with stylus, speakers, usb cord isn't long, you can delete songs and create playlists on the electronic, the mic is clear, camera has an OK quality.

Cons - the earphones are too big, too many options : i've had this mp3 player for a few months and i still don't know what half the buttons are.

I think the MP3 should be worth about $30-40.

In summary, I would not recommend eMusic to a friend.

I had a membership for several months. I have since cancelled, but it wasn't because of any problem other than I just didn't use it enough. You get credits every month and if you don't use them you lose them. The variety of music was good, no complaints there. I didn't find the web site difficult to use. And, I found a lot of good old country there. Some artists I looked for were not available, but that was really my only complaint. Not bad, not expensive, there certainly worse ones out there.

In summary, I would recommend eMusic to a friend.

The pricing structure has changed from having a certain number of tracks per month to a variable price-per-track system. Their pricing is a little bit lower than some other services, but it not the great value it once was. Many of the smaller indie bands are now gone, replaced with more popular and commercial albums.

Not a bad service overall, but as a long-time subscriber, I am disappointed in its evolution, and will go elsewhere for my music.

In summary, I would not recommend eMusic to a friend.

I found eMusic through a free subscription and decided to give it a go. I was impressed by the simple layout, the suggestions feature and the sheer number of tracks and artists that are available for download.

The collection of music available is certainly vast, and covers a wide range of genres: folk, indie, rock, electronica, jazz, etc. The main problem with the site, however, is that it does not feature many Top 40 artists or those that have found particular commercial success elsewhere, and so it is never going to be a complete music solution for you if you like that kind of thing. The plus side of this is that it introduces you to a range of music you might not otherwise find, and it gave me the opportunity to lookup various soundtracks or niche musicians I had been meaning to look up for a long time. Since then, I have played this music to several of my friends, who have then gone on to find these artists themselves, and I suppose this is how eMusic can provide such high quality music at such good value for money.

One other small problem I had with the... (Read the full review)
