50 Free MP3 downloads trial

[the Juice]

50 free

anyone try this yet?

I have heard someone else that tried it and said it was fine.


BTW: for 5 free downloads go to the itunes music store in itunes and sign up choosing Paypal as the source of money and you will get 5 free downloads.

I was going to, but insted of address the wrote "billing address". I don't know, just kinda shady.

I filled the first part of the registration out with bogus info and when I got to step 2, it wanted a credit card number. You have to sign up for a monthly subscription which starts at $9.99 for 40 downloads a month. The website says you can cancel before the trial period is over and you won't be charged anything. It's not a bad price if they have something you like. You can browse their offerings here.

emusic has been around for a while, iirc... i used to use them. looks like they have changed their fee structure though, it used to be unlimited downloads.

Affirmative.

I use emusic. If you like indie, their selection is top notch (they have labels like Matador and Thrill Jockey), the MP3s are of high quality and have no DRM. This is the type of company I like to support, but I wish they charged per song instead of per month. It's a great way to find new music for a low price without the DRM hassles or the law breaking.

I never give CC info for freeebies...

I did this promotion a few years back and then forgot to cancel my subscription after the month long trial date, and so they charged me. I would definitely avoid this like the plague.

I've done this for a few different free things, but it looks like this case isn't worth it. Thanks anyway, OP

Emusic is NOT for folks who want current hits. BUT:

They have an *incredible* library of jazz classics -

They have an interesting libaray of older Celtic, folk, and world (most of Shanachie) -

They have some funky classical (historic pre-WW-II recordings of composers conducting their works)

They seem truly estabilshed and legitimate - no dodgy Russian copyright BS ...

I signed-up for the three month deal a couple of years ago, and got much more than my $$ worth of really interesting music. Since the site doesn't seem to change much (their updates are generally not new music you're interested in hearing), it wasn't worth while to stick with it.

So - if you have a lively music curiosity, plunge in and download some classic Miles Davis, Django Rinehart, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, George Gershwin ... it doesn't have to be up-to-date to be amazing music !

Just $0.02 from a person with eclectic taste.
