How many times do people have to be told the entrance of “Major Labels” has Shit-all (absolutly NOTHING) to do with the Price increase before they STFU. If you are going to leave because of this then do so and leave the rest of us to the choice we made. Stop being a troll Serenity it isn’t attractive and will make nobody question their choice to stay or to go.

Piss off it you are going to, just stop filling my RSS with your cry-baby antics!!!

The problem with these major label catalogs is that they are the excuse to raise the subscription prices, whether you want any of this old stuff or not. If the only major label album to make the top 5 of the download charts is Michael Jackson’s Best Of at a time that he’s getting major hype, and that is still egged out by the likes of Four Tet, then there just doesn’t seem to be much demand for all these “new” (really: old) additions among emusic subscribers – so why raise prices to pay for major label content if the subscribers don’t want it? We can all wax poetic about how some old album is great and reminds us of the golden days of your youth, but chances are anybody who ever cared about this stuff (and still does at this point in time) already has it on CD or record. Emusic can add all the additional labels they want, that’s great, but my plan will roll over into a new, much pricier option next month and I’m still pissed about having to pay a lot more so people can reminisce about REM or Bruce Springsteen – or Ornette Coleman, for that matter. And I’m still considering to cancel and walk away. It would be really interesting to know how much the Warner and Sony stuff really gets downloaded, but they probably wouldn’t release those numbers …

Here’s another unquestionably classic disc on a Warner Bros. label that I haven’t seen mentioned yet: Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come.

It didn’t even make eMusic’s Atlantic Jazz hub!

No, no, Nergal. Ride’s best song is the album version of “Leave them All Behind” (to which “Grasshopper” was originally released as a b-side).

Certainly we can agree that, at the very least, “Leave them All Behind” is the best Ride song currently available on eMusic.

How about Ride’s Nowhere? AllMusic says it’s the 2d best UK shoegaze album ever. I’m not familiar with it, but I like the soundscans a lot. Swirly dream rock.

Question- a Canadian posted above about being on a 90 download/month plan? How does that happen? I’m a Canadian too and got cut back to 50 when everyone else did. What’s up? Serious question looking for a sincere answer in light of the fact that I can’t download most of this latest rollout. Many thanks, Donald
