I disagree, and here's why:
Sure, eMusic has a decent selection that's probably better than those of
its competitors. But often I can't find what I *really* want there. So
I've been using eMusic to sample a lot of music I wouldn't necessarily
spend money on. If I see a band mentioned on a list or in a magazine, and
it's on eMusic, I download it and check it out. If I don't like it, I
dump it, and no harm no foul because it's' *unlimited*. I've downloaded
some gems, but also a lot of crap.
But if I'm limited to four or five albums a month for $15, frankly, their
selection isn't good enough anymore.
