Why EMusic is better then the new Apple service (maybe)
Topic: Music 10:46 am EDT, May  1, 2003

Hrm... I'm posting this because these were my thoughts upon hearing about the Apple service. 99 cents a song is still too much money for disposable, low quality MP3s. I'd rather pay a flat rate subscription.

Unfortunately, it appears that this morning E-music released a new software revision that breaks all third party software that interoperates with it and forces end users to employ their download manager. This decision does not appear to be well thought out for a number of reasons. Personally its annoying because I've been making plans to write a client that allows MemeStreams and Emusic to interoperate so that you can have tracks picked by the reputation system, and as of today Emusic may have made that impossible. We'll see...
