As it happens, I've just been spending a while listening to a lot of music by Hungarian composer Erno Dohn

Congratulations to you and the family!

I don't know much about the economics of selling cds and books, but presumably used stores have been around long enough that there's an implicit, or maybe even an explicit, taking-into-account of the fact that some percentage of new cds and books wi…

@amclark2: "But also selling a used disc moves one copy of that disc, depriving the artist of one sale. Even if people rip and then re-sell, the artist loses a lot lot lot less …

"Nereffid's done the same thing on several occasions, continuing to comment on a thread under two different names, probably without realizing he's done it."
Confirmed! Well, I realize as soon as the message appears. Sometimes I wish for an "ah… -
Snotty Knickertwist has been outed as Raymond. I had my suspicions, though based only on the location of one deleted message. So, no regrets about …

Do Nickelback fans get as pissed off as Pat Metheny fans when you misspell their idol's name?

I presume you all know this one...
"Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager, Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became for a while, T… -
Huh, I thought it meant "performed by laboratory animals".

Wow, I hadn't looked at that thread.
Actually my first reaction on seeing the title was "Have you checked behind the sofa?" Glad I didn't post that - wouldn't want to have further upset poor groisenberg, who I must say was very quick to latch … -
Yeah, 20/20 hindsight is great. All I'm saying is, we lost too many good men that day.

Count me among those for whom my music isn't real until it's on CD. Browsing Winamp vs. gazing fondly at a wall full of shelves filled to the brim? No contest.
Plus, when attacked by lions, you can't use an iPod to reflect the sun into t… -
Unless clauses 5.6 and 6.11 contain different meanings of the verb "download", I'm not sure if 5.6 covers this situation. I'd interpret it as covering situations such as, if you're not logged in, you don't get a notice saying there's a geographical …

On further examination, it seems the T&C do imply that simply clicking the download button constitutes a purchase. I base that on the bit about being allowed to re-download:
6.11 eMusic may allow you to re-download each of your previ… -
I'm of the opinion that if there's a track in your queue, you've already bought it. The seller shouldn't be allowed renegotiate the price after the sale. Although interestingly the eMu T&C don't seem to define what constitutes a download or a pu…

Anyone else think Locke will turn out to be Wanderer?

The idea that "digital breakage" has declined makes sense to me.
To quote the Billboard article: "But if breakage is lower, more songs will be downloaded and the per-song payout will drop as a result. Perhaps the Sony catalog gives subscribers… -
"why not set up a search consultancy for Emusic?!"
That's a brilliant idea! My service will involve calling a phone number to make a search request, and then within 24 hours you will receive an automated response in which a computer-gene… -
You know, I'm so used to the quirks of eMusic that I actually hardly notice anything seriously wrong with the search function any more.
For example, I've gotten very good at identifying covers of albums I don't know. The Shostakovich concerto,… -
I wonder what it was about eMusic that he didn't like? Whatever about album-only tracks, pricewise it's still competitive. The Kubelik Mahler 8, Imogen Cooper's Schubert, and Dmitri Shostakovich Jr all work out cheaper on eMusic even at the worst su…

Presumably when Pandora's box gets opened, there'll be one big "Ooops" message.

Also Calvin and Hobbes!

They're a small firm; it's a Sunday, 2 days after Christmas. Cut 'em some slack.

Best joke in Shakespeare is in Titus Andronicus.
Chiron: Thou hast undone our mother.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww (is that how you spell it?). Four classical albums in the eMusic UK/EU list, and we haven't even got to the top 12 yet! Glad to see Imogen Cooper in there - shows someone in eMu is paying attention. The Padmore/Lewis Winterreise is …
