Since the site has been rejigged, all I get when trying to log in are web page errors.
No music, just a black screen and pictures that take an age to load, plus a picture of some guy that’s supposed to be a BBC icon. Never heard of him, and I live in the UK.

I hope this comment is still seen, coming late as it does. I have put the beta on both computers to which I download, and have found myself with problems burning CDs including recently-downloaded tracks (The Last Shadow Puppets, and Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, specifically.) I use Nero to burn CDs, and have never had a problem in the past. Has something changed in the beta that will not allow me to burn to disc, as either audio or in mp3 format? This is important, as the place I listen most to music is on my car stereo . . .

Thanks,

Randy

Worked right away on first try. I love being able to click “download album” and have the whole thing come sailing down in seconds. What a great upgrade from the s-l-o-w eMusic remote!

Excellent upgrade. This version also adds the album art image file into the folder which the last one didn’t (at least for me anyway). That small but significant improvement alone is a massive useability upgrade so thanks again.

i haven’t seen that, dpotta, and i am using the same setup as you. i will bring this up with the developers.

btw, approximately 80% of the problems people have reported have been fixed in a soon-to-be-launched new dlm. some good finds so far, so please keep them coming!

i’m using the beta with the latest (updated) version of firefox and am moving downloads straight into the latest (updated) version of itunes (which is always open). my operating system is XP, which (predictably) is fully updated.

i often listen to an emusic album in one tab within firefox and then open another and download/browse emusic from this tab.

when trying to download a track this situ seems to generate an error message from the download manager which then causes firefox to close. this error has happened downloading approx 10% to 20% of my tracks since picking up the beta at the end of last week

am i alone with this prob?

I had bad memories of the forced ‘upgrade’ to Remote like others here, I was persuaded to try the new beta and it’s definitely still a beta with the bugs it has. The installation went fine with no need to uninstall the old DLM or emusic/J, both of which I have on my main Windows XP PC. It did lose the download history that it had copied from my old DLM and the previous day’s downloads when I opened it again the next day, and I can’t seem to get that back, I have the settings to retain them but that doesn’t work for me. Downloads are much faster than when using the old version, consistently near my 8mbps max download speed, previously I was lucky to get 2mbps when i have a reliable fast connection for just about everything else. The feedback link on it does not work for me, so I’ve had to use the normal contacts method. At the moment there are definitely both pro’s and con’s involved with using the new DLM from my experiences.

Am I the only eMusic subscriber who actually likes eMusic Remote? It works every bit as well for me as the old DLM did, while improving on it in many cases.

Clearly, the software had problems — the incessant kvetching here and on the eMu message boards would be a fair indicator that is, in fact, the unfortunate case. But, in my own experience, it works just fine.
