Thanks to Brad's reminding me that eMusic existed, and another friends recommendation, i signed up for a year of eMusic last night... and holy crap. I'm already addicted. This would be an amazing deal at $50/month imho... purely for all the old blues, jazz and the spoken word stuff alone. They even have some of the Louisiana Hay Ride recordings... just amazing stuff from every genre. $10 (!)/month is insaneley cheap... that's less than the cost of ONE CD at most stores, and you can download as much as you want. .It may not be the best for new music from your favorite groups, but the classic collections they have are well worth it.

I can't believe i didn't sign up for this earlier.
