A month or so ago I posted a link that allows you to sign up for a trial subscription to eMusic getting 100 downloads instead of the customary 25. Here is the link for those who would like to try it:

eMusic Picks » Blog Archive » 100 Free Downloads from eMusic, instead of regular 25



I agree with Nightfly here. Don't abuse the system. A site like eMusic is a cool find. They have a great selection of tunes available if you are willing to search for them. Please treat them kindly...

Thanks,
ballth

Thanks ballth you're a good man..........

Hi Nightfly,
just got a quick question about the pricing policy for e-music. First off, what I like about all of the Russian download sites is that you pay the same for music regardless of where you live; i.e. if I wanted to buy the latest Stereophonics album from mp3sparks it would cost me $1-99; the same as it would cost you in the US. One of the reasons I dislike i-tunes is that in the US it costs you less than it would cost me to download an album. How does e-music work? I know it is subscription and you buy a number of tracks per month, so for me in the UK, 75 tracks costs £14-99 (~$30-46) per month. How much does it cost you in the US to buy the standard 75 tracks per month (I will be disappointed if it is not the same as I am paying ),
Cheers,
Dave C
NB. If anyone else knows the answer to this question, please jump in

Hi All,
I joined for the basic US$9.99 per month package. For this I get 30 downloads, thus US$0.30 per track or AU$0.33 per track.Paid by CC and the current exchange rate is US$1 buys AU$0.91. So, payment wise, Emusic works for me exactly the same as Sparks/MM.
At the Oz iTunes store the price per song is AU$1.69 or AU$2.19 if you want 256 kbps and no DRM (better to go to Borders and buy the CD).
I recall reading on a post something to the effect you had to be in the USA to join Emusic, but I did not get a hint of this when I joined.
Maybe Oz has finally become a State of the US and I didn't notice

Squash,

The one thing that I like about Emusic is that it is a global site.
They do have a Euro-Emusic site for those in Europe based countries.
It sends you there or to Emusic according to your Ip address when signing up.

Here's a thread where I first discovered there was a separate Euro site.
I wasn't aware because we would have many UK posters on the US site asking why a album was not available in the UK. I assumed everybody used the same site.Specifically read the posts by Bruno.
Here's the Link:

Thanks, I have read the thread and now have 2 questions that someone might have quick answers to before I do my own research:
1. Are Emusic Europe's prices substantially different to Emusic.com?
2. Is the music catalog (the labrador prefers dogalog ) different on both sites and, if so, to what extent?
