Took the plunge

I joined Emusic, agreed to hand them $10 a month for the next year, and am now downloading 3 albums - Earth Inferno by Fields of the Nephelim, The Apocalyptic Manifesto by Apoptygma Berzerk and A Passage In Time by Dead Can Dance.

All three are in MP3 format and all three are automatically going into my music folder with the name format of my choice.

This is how music downloading is supposed to work.

Yeah, but will you share them with other people, or encourage people to join themselves?

[andrewducker]

Well, if you join you'll get faster access, easier access and more of your own choice about what to download.

but I'm not going to stop sharing the occasional file with people.

heh

"my music folder"
As in your shared music folder?

"the name format of my choice"
You mean in the sense of:

"[song name]" - [Artist].mp3
vs.
[Artist]: "[album name]" : [track number].mp3

Re: heh

[andrewducker]

Yup.

And in this case

d:\my music\Artist\Album\tracknumber - trackname.mp3

cool!

EMusic is terrific... not perfect, but I've gotten turned on to so much great music since I joined. (They have some early Stereolab that I really enjoyed, and Interpol, and PJ Harvey, as well as some excellent jazz and world music). No, I don't work for them. :-) My only sorrow is that they did yank some stuff they had up for a while. Luckily, I downloaded some James Brown first.

The Linux client looks pretty crappy. I might have a go at tweaking the installer and/or packaging it for Debian.
