  • When you go on hold, the hold starts from whenever your credit was due to renew, so in theory you get the rest of the month to use the credit before the hold kicks in. As I've discovered, though, they actually stick the hold on 24 hours early. They …
  • Just went on to emusic to use up my credit before my account goes on hold, and found that I can't download anything - it just takes me to a page saying I need to reactivate the account to use my credit. Is this standard and I've never noticed it bef…
  • Sorry to hear about the identity theft, Daniel. It has happened to my partner recently too, so I know how horrible it is. They managed to get into her Amazon account, which she's closed down as a result, and now they are gradually working their way …
  • Not valid for long but a nice surprise!
  • Blimey, just got a £20 credit from emusic for 'membership and feedback'. Anyone else get this? I'm wondering if it was for pointing out on the message board that they had a problem with their charts.
  • DLM6 does work for me.....technically....it just tends to hide the music files on my pc and certainly doesn't put them into Windows Media Player like I asked it to. I can search for the files and can play them, but it's like they've been coded with …
  • Well, "Bruce" from Emusic has replied to say that the site had temporary issues earlier, and gave the catch-all advice about clearing my cache and cookies. All seems back to normal though.
  • Strangely, the message board is working for me. Everything about the site's appearance looks like it is working, I just can't sign in. I've emailed them anyway, so we'll see what they say.......
  • Is anyone else locked out of Emusic today? I've tried changing my password to no avail. Now to work out how to contact them without first being signed in to the site.....
  • It's incredibly buggy. I had to click to another page before I got a sign in option. Then when I clicked for details of an album, the page wouldn't load but it did helpfully sign me back out again. It's getting to the unuseable stage.
  • My three month hold has just come to an end, I've had my 'welcome back to eMusic' email and have headed over there with some enthusiasm, only to find the homepage won't load to the extent of letting me sign in. I don't think I've ever spent as long …
  • Least my fellow Scots have now stopped posting flags on Facebook in support of whichever nation England is playing next! I get really embarrassed by the 'anyone but England' mentality here, and not just because my other half is English. Wonder if th…

  • I think the last time I got some free credit, the email said it was because I'd signed in in the last 30 days or so. I haven't had the latest email, but then I haven't signed in to the site for ages (since discovering I couldn't add anything to my S…
  • ....and it's back.

    Thanks for that link, Germanprof. After it said emusic was working for everyone else, I checked and it did indeed load. Or at least, it is loading slowly. One step at a time!
  • I just noticed myself that emusic was down and headed over here to see if anyone knew why. It's the middle of the day here (not that the UK is their priority!) and no tweets to explain it, even though the page directs you to the Twitter feed.
  • I hate the whole idea of music on phones (actually I hate phones and the whole culture of 'apps' - don't get me started!)

    I'm not sure if any of the other UK based members remember this, but 2 or 3 years ago Emusic started selling gift v…
  • Interesting to see people using Spotify as a way of deciding whether to download albums - for some reason, I hadn't thought of it for that use. I probably made the mistake of thinking Spotify was some kind of personal jukebox, then giving up when I …

  • Good advice, Jonahpwll. I guess I was just thinking that when I want a CD and go out and buy it, I get so much more out of that then when I just download a lot of stuff to use up my credits (and some of it never gets listened to, to be honest). But …
  • Hi Greg, yes, I'm going to keep half an eye on the things I'm missing and try to pick them up at the end of my break. There's a bit of me though that's thinking I actually want to go back to buying hard copies of things I really want from actual rec…
  • Thanks everyone!

  • Thank you for my two welcomes!

  • I'm on a 3 month break from emusic. I'm another one who's loathe to give up my grandfathered plan (90 tracks for £15.99) but I don't know how to find stuff there any more. I'll probably use the breaks to cut my subscription down by half, like I did …
  • I'm on part 3 of 1Q84 just now. I am actually enjoying it although I'm not expecting too many of the loose ends to be tied up in it.
  • Another UK-based (Scotland) newbie checking in with nothing whatsoever to say about football.
