My guess starts with the obvious, which is that they can't survive solely on grandfathered plans and booster sales, all of which lead to album prices in the $3-4 dollar range. At that price point, they either get crushed on margins, or the labels …

(Quote) Thanks @Doofy - I saw that, too. Actually pretty good jazz week over at eMusic. Several new releases on Act, Mack Avenue, Motema, Whaling City Sound, and Effendi. …

Just dropped yesterday on Bandcamp. If you like your piano knotty and angular yet still melodic (and if it's one/both of these pianists, or Matthew Shipp, etc... I do!), this is for you... :-)
in What are you listening to right now? (16 Banners United) Comment by soulcoal January 2018 -
I'm waiting for the next branding campaign, where TriPlay renames eMusic to be eCutoutBin. :-)

As I noted on the emusic reddit forum, you know it's bad when they design a new icon and page just to denote all the music that is being deleted from the catalogue. (Though they should have shown an empty album sleeve for albums that don't exist. …

Pre-release stream of the upcoming Hampshire & Foat album:
(Side-note... Bandcamp has it classified as "Funk". I guess they are trying to hide it from @jonahpwll <… -
The interesting thing about this is that it strikes me as wildly inefficient in terms of storage space. Given that TriPlay is first and foremost about their cloud technology, I would think it would be much more cost-effective to have a single copy…

(Quote) @Doofy - Totally agree regarding Birdhoused! To add insult to injury, the metadata on eMusic is wrong. It shows up correctly in search, but if you download it, t…

Kasper Staub Trio - "Strog" (Jaeger Community Music - 2018)
For all the talk of eMusic failing (and it's a legitimate topic of discussion), here's an example of them having a new release available before it is even on the label (Jaeger … -
To quote a certain elderly gentleman in Monty Python's "Holy Grail".... eMusic is calling out "I'm not dead yet!"

@Doofy - completely agree (and am well aware of your specific Sean Jones example - there are many like that, including selectively missing albums on Act, Hubro, Edition, etc.). B…

I think the "open access" plan is their attempt to shift from fixed monthly subscriptions to just a "pay to join a club where you can get access to discounted music" approach. The fact that they are (so far) only promoting it to those leaving mig…

@Doofy - my take is that there was no actual "new" content... e.g. if some album from last June never appeared on eMusic even though the label is present and generally has included…

Some London soul jazz from 2017 that slipped under my radar. Available both on Bandcamp and eMusic...Another good bargain through 12/31(e.g. tomorrow) is at Greenleaf - 50% off a one year level 2 membership ($37.50 with discount), which gives you digital access to all Greenleaf releases in 2018 + special subscriber-only releases (mainly lots of Dav…By "back" I think most of us mean labels that went missing on Christmas eve (Mack Avenue, Edition, Unit, Clean Feed, Origin/OA2, Hatology, 482 Music, Motema, etc. - others can add to the list, but those are some ) that returned as of this morning. …My hunch is that this is the equivalent of a liquidation sale and that all money coming in from this extended (permanent?) month-long-and-counting "super-discounted" booster sale is being used to recover something for investors that pitched in to en…
