I've just bumped into a compilation project with a number of free, various artist, downloads. I've only listened to the Jazz Edition so far. On the initial pass the tracks sound nice enough.
I know there are a number of Jazz fans and fre… -
I think you have gotten it @Germanprof. Thanks, that makes more sense now. Would seem less slimy if they asked you to buy a booster pack rather than upgrade your plan.They didn't actually correct the problem. If the track is flagged as free then the track downloads; assuming you don't have any credit on account, if so you may or may not get charged for the free track. If the track hasn't yet been flagged as free …Well, they corrected the problem. While I don't know their code base, I find it very difficult to imagine how this is an accidental logic path.
It also galls me that their response ignores the bs functioning and pretends the issue was si…When I click on "Download Free Track" I'm taken to the Plan Options page. Where I'm encouraged to upgrade to the next most expensive plan. If I click "Cancel", I'm taken to my account summary.Back to the daily downlo…Growing up in the 70's I've seen plenty of Voodoo Glow Skulls in real life.... or at least Voodoo Day-Glo Skulls@Doofy that is an interesting name. What popped in my mind was "Rosetta Stone". Which it turns out is also the name of a gothic rock bandin I must set you a task, so that you can prove yourself worthy of my daughter's hand....

@Germanprof I agree. I've made a pass through a few genres that I thought for sure would be a wellspring of examples, only to find that so many titles evoke a state or sense r…Thanks very much guys - appreciate the suggestions. Very interesting the examples that people come up with.
(Quote)True - that's part of why I asked for help. That's why I regret not collecting the titles that inspired this idea. See…
Thanks @Brighternow for resurrecting this thread. Interesting responses; I'll definitely check out those videos....Thanks @Germanprof those are some really left-field suggestions - great stuff. However, while a fun concept, I'm having trouble visualizing the galactic sewer and even harder …That could make a good t-shirt or bumper sticker. Maybe along with a picture of the Pets.com mascot. ;-)@Plong42 what you are describing is fraud. They are not going to come and bust your door down and drag you away but still - not cool....Sorry to hear about your difficulties. 3 weeks is a long time to be cut off. When I was blocked for just a week, I had already started trying to figure out how to untangle from eMusic and switch gears to something else. It was an odd feeling to shif…
Started reading this a few years back and stopped. Now I've picked it up again....
(Quote) For decades the wet dream of broadcasters was to get people to pay to listen to the radio. Digital radio didn't do it. Satellite radio sort of worked. Now streaming seems to be taking off.
Personally I don't thi…@dell for me the secret to living with eMusic is compiling a shopping list in advance. I found that using google site search made that task easier. After a while I had so many items…@Germanprof my comment about "interesting enough to download" was referring specifically to the Noisetrade list, where every item is free (no Cal Tjader I'm afraid).Much of this stuff is years in the making - so I do get some sleep.
If any one finds something interesting enough to download, please let me know. I'm very curious and could also use some feedback. Also, I just recently reorganized the No…As a little side hobby, I've been digging through the NoiseTrade site of promotional music offerings. I've put together a list of the items I found to be of interest.
The site currently has ~35,000 items. I've gone through about a quarter…@djh I'm not sure what you meant by "getting bonus £££" so I logged in to give it a try. I downloaded the synch app. Couldn't get it to install (on Windows 7); not a good sign. Not t…Thanks GP. I added 'The Charity of Night' to my wishlist. And since you can get it on Emu at a good price, I added to my eMusic Bargains list.
You guys might find the list of interest: in The records that have influenced me Comment by dataGuy January 2016Greg here's a resource you might find helpful.
Tough to talk about music in the 60's without talking about the war. This list of songs, is organized around the various themes related to the war (likely more than you want to know):
<…A few pages back in the thread we were talking about opera. I was saying how I don't have any in my collection (unless you count Evita). Just a moment ago a song came up on my music player that I forgot about. Turns out while I don't have any opera …I thought I'd comment on the little sub-thread about Bruce Cockburn. I think the guy is very talented but I haven't paid him much attention with two exceptions:

I completely agree with the comments about how hard it is to reduce one's taste to a handful of entries. Luckily for me I already went through this process. I have a list online of my top 200 albums:(Quote) Don't mean to bring politics into this board but - I strongly reject the whole concept of a "right not to be offended". Not that I think you were advocating that ScissorMan. To have such a right would mean that there couldn't be freed…Places north of a line from Pittsburgh to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Boston totally escaped the Blizzard of 2016. Congrats if that fits you!
Sounds like later this week the I-95 corridor and New England could get more snow....
