Ditto! I just purchased a new IPOD and was looking for a place that would allow me to download MP3's. Although they didn't cater to the mainstream, I liked the site because it provided me with an opportunity to discover new music at an extermely affordable price. Besides the 9.99 monthly charge, it only cost me my time to find the bands I liked. If I made a mistake, which I feel is plausible with only a 30 second track listen, I really wasn't impacted. Now if you download the Boards of Canada and found out "they BLOW!", its taken against your d/l count.
I guess the only saving grace for me is that Apple announced ITunes for Windows, which will be available next week. In the next few days I will be canceling my subscription to emusic. From a cost/benefit standpoint, 40 downloads is just too small for the price. Allow me to download five albums or the equivalent number of tracks and perhaps I'd reconsider. Until then aidios emusic
