I just wish that eMusic had been in charge of the negotiations between Derek Jeter and the Yankees.
If so, Jeter would be a Cardinal today. (I understand some Redbird fans were allowing their daydreams to stray in that direction...!) -
Could be worse...

It's not even that I object to pop, lord knows...just the blandness of these MOR picks. They are just trying to drive traffic, I suppose. The iTunes crowd should indeed give 7dig a look...$7.77 is not a bad price for pop hits. Except for Kanye, t…

That Dean Martin Christmas album is looking better all the time.I got my pick of those Prestige bargains, believe me! I think I got most of the output from 1957-58. And a substantial chunk of Prestige (eg, most of the Coltrane catalog) was already album priced. Like BigD, I'll do some cherry-picking on Guvera…
Powerful.Them snippy Canucks. Not to be a snippy jazz fan, but the loss of the Indies affects me not one whit. With my bonus, I can accept the price increase, and I have lots of new things I am interested in getting. I am hanging back to see what happens …A little more postmortem info, including a memo from LWS to the labels. All gone after Dec 31.
edit: you can still ge…A big difference between this and the Sony drop is that the conversation then shifted to the new stuff that was available. This time, not only did some popular material get pulled, but there are questions about the quality of the new additions. T…Oh, I hadn't even thought about the Grammy Jazz nominations, I think they look great. This is one of…Seems like the inability to find Styx would be a feature, not a bug. [/snark]
re: "get my fix": I don't know when I have DL'd less music than I did in November, which is appropriate considering the Guvera binge in Sept followed by cash…(Quote)
Heh. This was before my time. So people thought they should just get unlimited DLs forever for 10 bucks a month, did they?I've wondered why they've been keeping it open too. Kind of sad to say, the smart companies these days don't given you opportunities to bitch/moan/criticize online. It kind of indicates how they're caught between identities: center of an online m…Well, today you can load up on all those Black Eyed Peas records you've been wanting.I think the fact that she is responding indicates they know they have a real problem. Seems like the Frankenheimer thing really caught them unawares.
The bitching and moaning over there is getting (has long since gotten) a little silly …Jonah, I did a trial in Oct 09, and everything is LAME 3.96, ~200 VBR.Mtracks has several good jazz labels, incl Timeless, Criss Cross, and Clean Feed, but to hell with it. I was just tempted to pull the trigger on LWS last week, too...that'll teach me to delay gratification! Well, maybe they'll reappear under anoth…
Reflecting t…Yeah, I am the CEO as far as that goes.
Also the janitor.Reading that according to Circumlocution Office principles ("looking into ways we can improve audio quality in the future"), I suspect that the files that are up already are unlikely to be fixed.ooh, too bad. I was planning on doing a month sometime soon. Could've seen this coming.Back in the day, there was a Kiss comic book that was supposed to have been printed with ink mixed with blood from the band members.

But suppose I was in the mood for some music that was, I don't know, maybe kind of "Acoustic / Healing & EasyListening / Lyrical." Where would I go?You funny. Anyway, they are back up. Probly just took it down for a couple minutes so they could fix all those broken Frankenhoffers.Eh. He's just a guy who likes to talk. The thing about price increases was basically two paragraphs about how sometimes prices go up on stuff.Speaking of Amazon promos, and apologies if this was mentioned in another emusers thread....But I recently discovered that the Coinstar coin-counting machines vend Amazon credits, without any service fee. (Criminally, they charge nearly 10% if you …No kidding, what are the odds they are going to re-encode and re-up all that stuff?
It would be interesting to see if there is any difference in UMG stuff DL'd from eMu versus other mp3 sources. For example, I have ECM tracks from both …
