Thanks
for the tip! We signed up at eMusic to get the 14 day free trial. It looks good to us, we like the indie music and its a site that targets our age group (mid 40s) pretty well, so its very likely we will stay with eMusic for a while.
* ability to search music by several criteria
* listen to songs before purchasing
* fairly good mp3 quality
* flexibility and ease of use (plays through our iTunes)
* no DRM issues
* large and diverse selection of music.
* reasonable pricing, fast downloads
Just the sort of thing we were looking for.
