It is a very cheap way to buy music (less than $0.25 per track). On the one hand, the have tons of great stuff, but on the other hand, they don't have much that you would find currently in, say, Wherehouse. (Are there even still bricks n mortar music stores anymore? The one near me has gone dark.) They have lots of great Jazz, more obscure rock, lots of gospel, tons of world music... the list goes on. Albums that are selling briskly generally don't make it to eMusic, but not all great music is on the most popular albums. But that doesn't answer your question, does it jewelz? Here's something (relates to another tbd discussion) - go to Pandora.com and create a radio station, seeded with Arcade Fire, Badly Drawn Boy, and Amy Winehouse. Pandora will play you music (full cuts) from these and similar artists. It is easy, nothing to download and install. Try it!

I'm checkout out this new site called Amie Street where songs are priced based on popularity. If a song is brand new and not very popular, it's dirty cheap. As the song becomes more popular, the prices rises. It's a great way to buy new music on the cheap!

Internet radio is a GREAT way to discover new music. Many stations play a lot of new, indie bands that can't get airtime on traditional radio because of the stranglehold the major labels have on traditional radio. There are literally THOUSANDS of internet radio stations to chose from. A couple places to discover a variety of stations are: and Both have directories of a wide variety of stations and with a few minutes of snooping around you'll find some really creative and enjoyable stations. One nice feature of these sites as well is the player windows contain links to Amazon.com so you can buy the music you find, if you so desire. Check out internet radio- you'll find there are a lot of really creative individuals running stations just out of the sheer love of music- something you won't find in traditional radio. | ADVERTISEMENT  |
