The problem with emusic is that it’s subscription based. Just charge me for what I want right now. Don’t try to force me to come back. Subscription is way too played out online. Come up with an easy interface and clean site design and customers will come back on their own.

Thanks to The Creative Commons license, a whole new generation of artists put their music for free on the web, just for the cause of music, not for big money.
This DRM discussion is about paing off Madonna’s third swimming pool.

Looks like mTraks just added a thing where you get 30 songs for free when you sign up……AFTER I already did. Hmph.

Didn’t see http://www.mTraks.com mentioned in any of the comments. Apparently, it’s one of the fastest growing DRM free sites online. Close to a million 192bps mp3’s that you can buy a la carte without having to sign up for a subscription (though if you do, it’s as little as 27cents a song)

I’m already discussing DRM free music for a while in my blog and consider this the first small step to free music. Thanks for the researches and comparison between digital shops.

The question to ask about Amie St.: does the price go down as the track looses popularity? I think they have a great concept of putting the emphasis on promoting new music. They have a social networking scheme combined with a rewards scheme to help accomplish this. They strike a balance between pricing new bands out of the market, and pricing the more popular bands well below their real market value.

Emusic is still my primary means of digital downloads. One thing about Emusic is if you’re willing to dig a little you’ll never run out of things to download. It’s certainly not for people who feel they should only pay for the tried tested and true.

Not all music stores are created equal. I continue to find the iTunes experience more compelling than any other music download store available, as it combines great usability and content selection. I suspect that Universal will eventually add its DRM-free music to iTunes. It’s just a matter of time.

I would place gBox at the bottom of the list. The user experience is terribly confusing and there is a very limited selection of DRM-free tracks. The most disappointed part of gBox is the distracting ads and pop-under ads. I can not remember the last time I went to a reputable site that served pop-under ads.

I look forward to the day where Amazon and iTunes start offering a wishlist that can easily be placed on MySpace and Friendster.

@booboy
Nothing related to this article here..But just to shut booboy out., dude – try to atleast come up with your real name or give your URL..Dont play spammer here..

And no need to prove you spammer wrong, but just to clarify..NITIE “IS” one of the 15 centers of excellence identified by the government of India along with the IITs and IIMs..If you did not know that, go yell at your own ‘placecom’..

For the rankings, you may wish to search for Bschool and Tech School rankings on any of the popular publications like Outlook or Dataquest if you are really interested.peace

@Anand,

You mention on your LinkedIn that BITS (Birla Institute of Technology) is like IIT (Indian Institute of Technology)??

WHAT???

That’s like saying Geo Prizm is like Mercedes S-Class!

@Anand,

It’s not wrong strategy. In fact, what you just said validates their strategy. Not all people will be suckers like you trying to con the general public and secondly, since it is DRM free and that people like to support their indie artist, why would they buy from you?

On the other hand, if the song doesn’t take off, you are stuck with the cost.

Next time, think before you speak.

And finally, don’t tell me that NITIE is the same as IIT and IIM – please, don’t lie to the world! It’s a third grade school that every one who doesn’t get into IIM goes into.
