Yeah it sucks and all, but at least they have a clearly defined limit now. IMO it's worse to promise something and not deliver (boot you for downloading too much when "too much" supposedly didn't exist).

Sheesh! You play by the rules by paying for a service that claims to be unlimited and then get labeled abusers by violating the "spirit of the service"?? Gee, wonder why people download music "illegally"! You can't win for losing.

Re: Will Cancel if this is true
Well, there are better music sites out there. Some offer unlimited downloads for only 99 cents a month if you sign up to a 2 year subscription. Good Luck!

| Site is currently swamped from people trying...
to download as much as they can before the changeover. I'm
sure this has generated a whole lot of negative PR for the
site - I wonder how many of their 70,000 customers will
cancel their subscription before the new owner takes over?
I for one will be cancelling at the end of the month. Even
at $0.17 per track (the most expensive plan at $50.00/
month), many will go elsewhere. What happens if you reach
your monthly limit, but want to download something else?
Are you forced to wait, or will you be able to buy the
excess downloads on a per-track basis?

Re: Wrong competition
Part of the attraction of eMusic was the unlimited
downloads. It was billed as a legitimate alternative to
P2P, and now that the new owners plan to do away with this
feature, where do you think those former eMusic users will
go? Back to P2P, IRC, and newsgroups where downloads are
free. They certainly won't go for the per song DRM
services (Napster 2.0, Rhapsody, MusicMatch, BuyMusic and
iTunes).

Re: Never used E-Music...
I haven't been stealing.
I have been using Emusic for about a year now. Now ... they pull this stunt. This was a legitimate way of downloading music. Now they have twisted it into something too expensive for what you are going to get.
Its no bargain at the price structure they have listed. I could see 300 downloads for $9.99 a month as almost a bargain ... but not 40. Thats a slap in the face.
