Muggsy, I just wanted to say: that album Anthology by the Clean is one of my alltime faves. I remember downloading it from Google for a comparable price and then listening to it continuously for 2 whole weeks.

UPDATE: I totally forgot that I started this thread, and have since found some other good music books -- one Australian encyclopedia of 90s alternative that was free for a few days.. From this point forward I'll be sure to add titles when they go o…

I love Freegal too -- the highlight of my week! I have been using freegal to download all kinds of albums which I can't get anywhere else. Also, some Asian and experimental stuff. I've noticed that for certain albums you can't download a longer tra…

For what it's worth, I rip a lot of albums and have to download many more, and do a lot of tagging correction. I've used various tools, but find that foobar2000 music player works best. If you right-click the album, select TAGGING and then GET TAG…

As much as it delights me to see the Versailles album (and the Krautrock compilation -- sounds great!), my credits are down to 6.79. It always is a fun challenge to see what I can get for my allowance. I've been extremely fortunate at my choices, t…

I am sorry I didn't get J-Jazz while I could.... For the record, that Reverberations album was a 1.6 gig download!

Doofy, sorry I took so long to post those BBE sales. I see a trend where new releases are initially cheap and then return to a normal price. Thanks very much for the Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo sessions. My credits refresh in a week,

Some great recommendations above. Let me throw out some more.
First, at the annoyingly priced $7.50, Reverber… -
The problem as I see it is that your only option now is to cancel -- and apparently, that means immediately removing your uploads and purchase history.

I am much more concerned about the updated terms of service. https://www.emusic.com/terms

Wow, I'm on the 6.99 monthly plan, and while it seemed a no brainer to go with either the Wrecking Crew or Backroom Maestros compilations, there are so many intriguing albums at the great price of 99 cents that I think I'm just going to start scoopi…Ok, I'll throw my two cents in.
I generally haven't been too fond of the original Netflix series (they all seem like shlock with amazingly high production values and great actor4s). But some of the recent movies like "Mudbound" sound pro…Rostasi, Thanks for the info. This is a perfect day to catch up on Koes Plus....Yes, I glance on it occasionally. It can be a commitment to post regular reviews -- and I think sometimes a review of an album can go overboard (such as what I see on Pitchfork); I don't necessarily need a musicological interpretation of it, just …Wow, Plong42, great find on the George Russell jazz music. What a deal.
As I mentioned before, I've been listening to a lot of Indonesian pop music (Emusic is unusually well-stocked in that region).
First, I bought a lo…Here are 2 great values of Ukrainian pop compilations: Свежачок, Ч. 12 (21 tracks, 78 minutes, 99 cents) and in Bargains on the new eMusic Comment by idiotprogrammer December 2017Legend Collections: is a low-cost series of albums by oldies.

(To my amazement I don't have any of his stuff although there are 1 or 2 albums at the local library). It's great to buy all 7 albums in the series; I just wanted to point out that that album names …For Plong42, happily I can report that I could successfully download the complete 4 gig Tartini zip file. It took about 10 minutes to get ready, and then it reliably downloaded at a rate of 2-3Mbps. Took about 20-25 minutes to do so.For Plong42, I can appreciate the effort gone into retagging things. I'm actually writing a book on music collecting where I plan to devote a full chapter to tagging audio files, with special attention paid to classical music. Sometimes you …For Plong42, great find on the Tartini. Just out of curiosity, what is the size of all the files when downloaded? (I normally don't like to only stream my purchases, but I may make an exception in this case...
For Germanprof,<…I'm a huge fan of Ukrainian music. It's unusually diverse and creative, and well, I lived in Ukraine for a year and fell in love with a Ukrainian girl (long story for another time).
There are two excellent labels in Ukraine. in Bargains on the new eMusic Comment by idiotprogrammer November 2017
