BFrank Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I went a little overboard the other day on e-music, at least I tried to. Apparently, there's a limit to how many tunes you can download from them in a given month. When I tried to do an upgrade to my account and add another 50 songs, I got a message saying I'd reached my limit. The message also said they were working on some other packages that would eventually allow junkies such as myself greater access to their "catalogue", but there was no specific information provided as to what and when. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised when this message popped up. I wonder why they care how many songs someone wants to download in a month as long as they're paying the freight. Seems odd to me that any business would turn down a paying customer. Up over and out. They do have those "Booster Packs" (discussed above), if you just want to download some additional tunes this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 BFrank, I was trying to buy a 50 song booster pack when this message popped up. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructible! Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 yeah the $$$ per d/l is too high with the booster packs i'll just get by with the trane european set for now ss1 Jeff, Man, what are ya talkin' about? If you do the math, there's no way the booster packs make the $$$ per d/l too high. For example, I'm assuming you're on the 90 downloads for $19.99 a month plan... that works out to a wee bit over 22 cents per song. If you add the 50 downloads for $14.99 booster pack... that works out to just a wee bit under 30 cents per song. So the booster pack deal only adds about 7.5 cents per song more to the typical download cost. When you compare that to the ridiculous 99 cents per song that iTunes charges, I'd say eMusic is a GREAT deal. Plus, as has been mentioned here before, just download those Braxton albums! Many of them are only 1-2 songs long! Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Another album they just added is Pharoah Sanders' "Journey to the One". A superb set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 what do you do after you have burned a cd from e-music? put 'em in a binder a cd jewel case? do you write/type up the info for the cd case? make cd covers off the internet? store these with your regular cds? ss1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) SS, I just keep the music on my i-Pod. My intention at this point would be to eventually fill up the Pod with nothing but Fantasy albums that I don't have in my collection. That way storage, which has always been a problem, becomes a non-issue. I guess at times it might be nice to have the kind of information you get on a tray card, but I can always look up the players on e-music or in my Fantasy Jazz catalogue. As to cover art, not anything I have an overwhelming need to have. I'm more interested in the music than the accouterments. Up over and out.

BFrank Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I save 20GB worth on my Archos MP3 and the rest I burn as MP3s onto CDs. You can get a LOT more music on a CD if you burn them as "data" MP3 tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Yeah, but it seems to me that they sound kinda "wonky" as MP3s when listened to on my main listening system with the dvd player. (Data discs containing 7-10 cds worth) They sound better after being converted to waves and burned as a regular cd. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 They sound better after being converted to waves and burned as a regular cd. IMHO. This sounds odd, if you mean you're playing the audio CDs on your DVD player too. If they sound better after having been converted to WAV format it appears that your DVD player does not handle MP3s well. There might have been a thread here (probably more than a year ago) which brought up this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm not really concerned with it. To me they kinda sounded like they were in a tunnel... I don't need to listen to MP3 cds...not when I wanna hear something really nice sounding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 what time in the day (am/pm) does e-music refresh your account? today is my refresh day and i really want shirley scott's "soul sister" ss1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I axed my e-muisc membership a while ago--they recently sent me an email for a free month's worth of downlaods [50]. Sweet! I will say, for those looking to make the most of the minutes-per-download ratio, there is a bunch of ragas by Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, as well as several discs worth of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. So if you are into ragas or Qawaali, they have your number! This may have been mentioned before, but they also have some Blood and Fire reggae reissue stuff up now, too.

chris Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've been with emusic for a long time and am looking to branch out into some of the smaller labels... my taste is generally pretty straightforward: straight ahead, bop, classic stuff. I Want to open my ears, but not til they bleed Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Oh, and any specific blues or reggae suggestions also gratefully accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructible! Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Oh, and any specific blues or reggae suggestions also gratefully accepted Hi Chris, In regards to the reggae, eMusic has started to add titles from the Blood and Fire label, and I would recommend ALL of their releases without hesitation. I downloaded a few titles from them last month, and will do so again this month. My favorites so far are Horace Andy, King Tubby, Max Romeo, and the Darker Than Blue compilation... Seriously, anything on the Blood & Fire label is great! In an area of music that is infested by shoddy reissues and "pirate" labels stealing everything in sight to make a quick buck, B&F are one company who do things right! The only regret I have with downloading their stuff off of eMusic is that I miss their great packaging and (often) meticulous notes! Check out the song samples... they are pretty representative of what is contained on each album. Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
