Good Points

Just that I could escape eMusic free trial as quickly (and before they started to charge me) as possible.


Bad Points

Virtually NO original albums/artists/labels during my searches. See below.


General Comments

When you sample a music download site and do searches for favorite songs,you want the ORIGINAL artist, hopefully doing the ORIGINAL recording, that you fondly remember. Here's an example of what I found......During a search on eMusic,for the track "I Think We're Alone. Now"(famous original oldie by Tommy James & The Shondells), I got 43 hits,with the first hit being "Living On Video" from label Cleopatra Records,the second hit a karaoke version, and the 4th....a Lene Lovich Japanese version of the song! Of the 43 hits, no original recordings from original labels. Another search for oldie song "Society's Child" by Janis Ian, produced almost nothing,though from one 'album', the track was actually an interview (no music)! eMusic was actually recommended, as a 2008 (and now'09) "Best Song Download Site" by musicdownloadfinder.com, which I guess tries to steer people in the right direction?! So even the review sites should be eyed in a suspicious manner. Buyer Beware!
