BFrank Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Still cracks me up that they spelled "chronological" wrong. But I love the fact that they never corrected it. Ha! I never noticed that. Quote
Free For All Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the eMusic site? I haven't been able to get on since yesterday. Quote
mjzee Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I just got on fine. It can be a flaky site. BTW, in the last week or so, they've added many Fresh Sound titles, and some more Chronogical Classics. Quote
Free For All Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 It's weird, it seems to be suddenly fussy with Firefox. I used Safari and got in fine. Never had this problem before..... Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I had a month where it would not open with Chrome but would in IE. Tried Chrome tonight and it opened fine! Quote
Free For All Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Some good new things popping up on on eMusic (like the Fresh Sound sides), but also some very odd compilations. This one caught my eye. I didn't realize how much alike Ray Brown and Ron Carter look! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Looks like he rammed the spike in his toe again. Quote
RDK Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Looks like he rammed the spike in his toe again. Sounds like a misheard Velvet Underground lyric! Quote
Free For All Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 The new Miles Bootleg is on emusic (sans DVD)- there's also a compilation available. Quote
BFrank Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 The new Miles Bootleg is on emusic (sans DVD)- there's also a compilation available. $15 is pretty good.........but I still want the box. Quote

mjzee Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 See this thread in the Mosaic forum - 5 (legit) Verve Mosaic boxes just popped up on eMusic: Organissimo Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Sorry to be late to the game and without much patience to read all the messages. Did anyone mention it's a photo of Jimmy Stewart in the first post? Quote
mjzee Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Sorry to be late to the game and without much patience to read all the messages. Did anyone mention it's a photo of Jimmy Stewart in the first post? That was implicit in sonnymax's "brought a smile to my face" comment. Quote
sonnymax Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Crap! Does this mean we've got 24 more of these guys to look forward to? Quote
Chicago Expat Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Huge Anzic drop on emusic two weeks ago. Which means you can now get a bunch of Anat Cohen, Yuval Cohen, Third World Love, Avishai Cohen, etc etc etc. Some strong music on that label. Of course, they also have a Bandcamp page where you can stream the album in its entirety before deciding to purchase. In some cases, it's cheaper to buy it on Bandcamp, plus you get a choice of file formats there too. Some albums released last Tuesday that I really like... 1982 - "Pintura" ECM musicians make an album of chamber jazz folk music. A pretty album. Listen to track from album on Soundcloud. (Sorry, best image I could find) Chelo Segui - "From Now On" On his site, Chelo talks about composing an album of new tango with Argentinean rhythms. Cool album. Listen on his myspace page. The Four Bags - "Forth" Sort of like something you'd hear on the Clean Feed label, but odder and prettier. Maybe for fans of stuff on the Clean Feed label. Listen to the whole album on Bandcamp page.

Free For All Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 They've revamped the site and currently it's not working worth a damn. Anyone else having problems? It might be just glitches based on the changes, but they better get it fixed soon or else they're going to have some pissed off customers (like me). Quote
mjzee Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 I downloaded some things tonight. I needed to first download the new version of Download Manager, but then it worked fine. I agree that aspects of the site, including search, are buggier than usual. Quote
BFrank Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Relax! It's a major revamp - its gonna be buggy. Quote
BFrank Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Sorry I blew up. Put some JJJ on the music box and chill, OK? but.......having said that, it IS pretty messed up right now. They actually have a 'disclaimer' on the home page about the "performance issues". Edited November 19, 2011 by BFrank Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) More concerned that wading through the new jazz releases there seem to be more Miles Davis compilations than ever! I do wish they had a 'bargain bin' filter like shops used to. Edited November 19, 2011 by A Lark Ascending Quote
BFrank Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Still pretty messed up. I'm not at the point of abandoning ship, but I must say they did a terrible job of rolling out the new interface - both technically and marketing-wise. If you read the eMusic message board, there are a LOT of unhappy members. I hope they get it together SOON. Quote
sonnymax Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 ...If you read the eMusic message board, there are a LOT of unhappy members... So much pain, so much sorrow, so much drama. Such is the life of many who regularly post on the eMusic board. While there's certainly a good amount of unnecessary stress and confusion in dealing with this new format, I find the nastiness and histrionics of some members rather laughable. For some reason, I've encountered few of the problems others report, and I've had no difficulty downloading files or saving titles to my list. Quote
