So I joined e-music about a month ago. They charge $10 a month and give you 30 tracks to download, which is pretty good as it about a third of the price of iTunes. Some benefits are the music has no DRM and they are high quality mp3’s. emusic only deals with indie labels which cuts out a lot of music, but still leaves a lot of good music to be found. When you sign up they give you 50 bonus tracks to download as well. During my first month at emusic they created an emusic Canada, seems the same to me except they now charge $12 a month, but they threw in an extra 10 tracks to download. So for my first month I have 90 tracks to download for $10-12, I have to see how much they actually charge, still a great deal though. So now I have been inundated with new music. Since I have downloaded a lot of music some of the music hasn’t been listened to as much as others.

This is what I downloaded:

The National – The Boxer
The National – Alligator
Arcade Fire – Funeral (I had most of the album before from a friend but now I have it legally:-)
Cool Hand Luke – The Fires of Life
Andrew Osenga – Photographs
Northern Room – Only Seconds EP
Sigur Ros – Von
Flogging Molly – Float

I would have to say I have enjoyed The Boxer the best so far, I mean I like Funeral as well, but I had heard it before. Cool Hand Luke was a little diapointing, Andrew Osenga was a little depressing I thought, Sigur Ros was very ambient but I kind of expected that. All those albums I do need to list a bit more as well. I have only listened to Flogging Molly and Northern Room once, so I still need to form an opinion on them.

Anyway emusic is a great indie music resource and if you are thinking of signing up, you can use me as a referral and I get more free music as well, a win-win for everybody.
