A quick refresher from earlier posts:
- Many are chosing NOT to be on eMusic (my label and the 117 albums we
control for starters) because of the inequity in pay vs. the industry
standard on other downloading services like iTunes.
- Subscribers are getting a great deal.
- eMusic is getting a LOT of subscribers (and is therefore good for them)
- Many feel the labels need to use eMusic as a promotional tool
