eMusic – Make sure you want it

If you like your music DRM free, then eMusic may be just the place you’ve been looking for in the online music store category. However, let me give you a little warning. It may not be what you think. There large catalog of songs isn’t populated with much mainstream music.

There are some mainstream musicians, but not a lot. What I did find though is it could be a great place to grab some good comedy albums if that interests you. The only problem I see with that though is that comedy album tracks are fairly short.

Seeing as how you receive 25 free downloads for trying out the service, this may not be the best use of your 25 song revenue track. I will say that the cancellation process did seem to work well, I’ll let you know if they decide not to take my word for it and continue to ding my credit card.

I’ll end with this short bit of warning summary. Sign-up and you get 25 downloads in your trial period (30 days). Browse their catalog and decide if it’s enough for you to maintain the monthly subscription to grab free MP3’s when you want them.

For me, it just wasn’t enough.
