iTunes or eMusic? - dasunst3r - 2005-09-30
Hey, guys! I'm thinking about switching to eMusic and ditching iTunes, and I could use some advice. Here is what's on the scale:
eMusic
Pros: No DRM, flat monthly fee allows me to quickly legitimize my music collection, no special software to use
Cons: Fixed monthly fee makes occasional downloading wasteful, but it's like a "financing program" if you really think about it
iTunes
Pros: A-la-carte pricing makes occasional downloading OK, Steve Jobs called the music industry "greedy" for pushing for an increase in price
Cons: Requires use of special software, DRM (which can be broken)
What do you think?

Here is what's on the scale:i think i would have to go with eMusic at first (4 fast ligitimization and co$t affectivness) and then drop it when uve caught up. then switch to iTunes for the new song or two u like.
