I used eMusic just after they launched but like Sean I soon ran out of tracks
I wanted. That added to the fact I found quite a few corrupt track and
e-mailing support was as much use and shouting from the top of my roof, so
consequently I lost a download for each corrupt track I downloaded. In the
end I just cancelled.
