I think the problem is their new download client is buggy and now they require you to use it.

They have a specific client? Aaaaargh. I bet they don't have one for Linux yet.

/me goes to look...

Yay! They *do* have it for Linux.

/me keeps reading...

Bah. It's a browser plugin.

/me wonders how to run this on an Alpha.

If you are having issues, we recommend that you switch your Linux flavor or OS in order to download with the EMusic Download Manager 2.0.

Hah! I wonder if they really believe that people will really do this?

/me keeps chuggin' along without EMusic.
