I've never been to eMusic so i'm afraid i've no idea on that. I
believe that the album will be released in CD in June (available from
Not Lame, etc.) and will available in digital form on iTunes. I'm not
sure what the initial number for the first run of CDs will be but I
suspect it'll be relatively high. He does seem to have had
considerable interest from the kind of people who count so fingers
crossed.
