They must have tried to fix something?
You can still search via the eMusic Toolbar, so it's not like the servers are down - this is almost certainly programmer error, like (evidently) everything else that's been going on. Every other lis… -
Also, is it just me, or do recording artists who start selling MP3s online long before their "official release date" tend to be really, really shitty?

San Francisco was the home of many of the Unabomer's targets, and the Unabomer wore a hoodie, so...
I'm not saying the eMu programming team are the sort of folks who would send IED's through the mails to main and kill people, but given w… -

With these numbers, how long before we can overthrow a Middle Eastern dictatorship?

I'm Spartacus! -
It's difficult to be certain, given that the eMu boards have never really worked properly, but it looks like they've now deleted the stuff making fun of the lead developer that was drawn from his social media sites.
Important advice fo… -
It's too bad, because if they'd just mellowed it out a bit, they might have had a shot at the Avant-Garde Latin Jazz Electronic Fusion Soft Bop Album of the Year award at the Grammys.
Meanwhile, I'm listening to a record called Dreamt… -
I don't like to make Favorites lists personally, but if I had to pick three free/NYOP Indie-Rock acts from 2011, they'd be the aforementioned Rebecca Peake, Eric Maskol, in Great Expectations: musicisgood.org is a go! Comment by ScissorMan December 2011

(Quote) I'm planning an entire article/entry about Rebecca Peake, who are probably the single most … -
Y'know, I guess I should have realized this was a possibility, but it looks like their attempts to fix their bugs are actually making things even worse. If this keeps up, we could be looking at one of the worst (and most preventable) software…

I also miss Frogkopf...
I just recently passed the 100GB mark, but if you include the live bootlegs (which are mostly FLAC) and the stuff I've got offloaded to CD-R's and never bothered to restore (this is from way back, before I had a n… -
That's what I meant by "there might be something wrong" with the process that's responsible for putting new releases into the new site. Any delay in getting new releases into the database is bad by definition - that should actually be their third pr…

Wow, it's like night and day, isn't it?
It's not a different protocol or anything, it's just a different subdomain - they probably implemented the new site by running it on separate servers for a few days, long enough to make scre… -
Is "rompous" a word? I see it's in the Urban Dictionary... Other than that, it looked pretty good. I made a few formatting corrections (no need to put an already-italicized album title in quotes, for example), and did the Youtube tag (you just have …

The Mothmen, One Black Dot on vinyl (this has never been released on CD or in any digital form, to my knowledge):

I did a little product research on this whole business, and I found out that Adobe is discontinuing their CRX content-management system, as well as their LiveCycle product, and rolling it all into something called ADEP (Adobe Digital Enterprise Plat…

Too late! I already published it, as it didn't need much revision. But feel free to reverse that, or make further revisions if I missed anything. (Which I didn't, of course.)

As lame as the term "music discovery" is, I have to admit that I never really thought of my way of looking for good new stuff to listen to and/or download as a process at all - until just recently that is, when eMu completely disrupted it, an…

I believe this is enough for me to overcome the inertia, anyway. I was mostly hanging around there for the new Kate Bush album, which (to me at least) turns out to be something of a disappointment, though I'll probably buy it regardless... In any ev…

Bandcamp download codes are product-specific, or at least artist-specific, and they can expire:

Actually, the Lorem ipsum text is probably the most accurate description of me that I've seen yet...Either one will work, but if you embed an image directly from another site via URL, you just have to hope (or ensure, if possible) that the other site doesn't mind. Some domain owners can get a little fussy about that...
Dr. M, I'll give…(Quote) I don't think we can...? even if I change the upload folder setting, it's going to save everything in the theme's folder, not the default. It looks like we'd need FTP access to save things into a folder that's higher up than the /wp folde…Hmm... Bummer. What happens if you try a different URL prefix, without the "listen/#" part?@-moz-document url-prefix("http://www.emusic.com/browse/album")
My guess is yo…OK, you convinced me...Over on the eMu boards I wrote that I'll probably unsubscribe soon (once I spend my last $6 or so), but since then, I've been playing around a little bit, and I've figured out how to get rid of the big banners at the top of the New Releases listing …But it's not a counter-factual, so the past indicative is OK in that case, isn't it? IMO it's not really a hard'n'fast rule in informal writing anyway, but if it's wrong, let's change it...
