The few times a year a major label puts out something I want, I can go to iTunes or, gasp, a store. eMusic allows me to find just about everything I want to hear, for 1/4 of what I'd pay at iTunes or elsewhere. And you don't need to subscribe to search its database; just click on the login button and start searching.There are drawbacks, such as their ridiculous inabilility to offer a workable RSS feed to list newly available music, and there surely must be a better way to represent the depth and breath of its catalog. But compared with other services, it's the hands-down winner. I love eMusic because it focuses on indie labels.
