Yeah, only having x many downloads per month (which don't carry over if you don't use them) is a mild hassle. However, they do offer "booster packs"--sets of 10, 25, or 50 track downloads that don't expire. If you want more tracks in a month than your monthly plan allows, you can go for the boosters.
I imagine previews don't count, but 20 seconds of low-quality audio isn't the same - and that's IF there are previews of more than the best 2 or 3 tracks on the album.
Previews don't count. EMusic offers 30-second previews of virtually every track (usually not for tracks less than a minute). I don't think you need to be a member to listen to the previews.
Actually, it reminded me of an anime I saw years ago, Roujin Z, about automated beds that were supposed to provide medical care for the elderly. They run amuck, hilarity ensues, etc.
