Bad day for emusic

[Vas Deferens]

Anti- Records and Epitaph Records pulled out of emusic this morning

Eh...I already have most of the back albums from the artists on those two that I like, and I think the Weakerthans have the only upcoming release that I was planning on getting.

Well, there go all the Dropkick Murphys albums I had saved for later...

Lets hope that the reason Epitaph left doesn't become a trend. They wanted eMusic to raise the price of downloads to .99 cents.

 I would have never paid $11.88 to download and sample the recent Mavis Staples via iTMS.  With my eMusic subscription I was able to legally download it in it's entirety ,listen to and decide it was worth buying on CD anyways because it was worth it.  Silly record label execs...

Here's another story about Epitaph leaving emusic. I hope emusic just stays the way it is.

I thought this thread would be about the eMusic Remote.  I have yet to get that stable on any computer I've used it on....

Ditto - and now it's required for audiobooks

Pretty excited to get the Audiobooks though I have no clue if I need to sign up for it or if it is a part of my subscription. I really hope I don't have to pay extra.

Separate subscription...
 
 Similar to Audible, plans start at $9.99.

I received an e-mail from a friend and the same thing happened to him.

I think this is the worst way to do the subscription. I think instead, each book should be like, ten downloads or something. I don't listen to enough audiobooks to justify an extra subscription but if one jumped out at me I would download it...

Has emusic done away with Booster Packs?  I went to purchase one and couldn't find the link.
 To make matters worse, I inadvertently clicked on Upgrade Now and without warning was charged $150 for a yearly subscription.  I emailed customer service last Thursday night when this happened to tell them I wanted to revert back to my normal monthly subscription rate, but have yet to hear back.
 ...but yeah, where are the booster packs?

whats the story with the new iron and wine record? is it going to be avail on emusic?
