So long, emusic...
...it was nice knowing you.
Short version: emusic, in a bid to become more like itunes, has gotten some more mainstream music--but has also more than doubled the cost per track for subscribers like myself. In the past, emusic has been a fabulous way for me to take a flyer on albums I think I *might* like, because it was only ~$2.50 per album or thereabouts. Now, the prices are no better--and probably a little worse--than my local used CD store.

Bonus points if you can tell which one of the 750+ comments is mine. ;-)
