We are real media people here in the Blake household. Music, movies, books, computers- we love it all, especially music. We have a bookshelf crammed completely full of cds and our Ipods are loaded to the max (30 gig and 60 gigs). We have a radio, CD player or IPod dock in every room of the house, except the bathrooms.Music being a top priority at our house, we love to discover and download new music. However, we HATE ITunes because of their expense, proprietary file format and general not too user-friendly program. Imagine our excitement when Kristen turned us on to E-Music.
E-Music is a downloadable music service that is reasonably priced and subscription based, but can be cancelled at any time. Subscriptions range from $9.99 a month for 30 downloads to $19.99 for 75 downloads a month. The files are regular old MP3s, so they can be burned to disc or played on any type of MP3 player. Also, they save your info on downloads, and if you should need to re-download all your music you do it for free! Best of all- you get a great FREE TRIAL of 50 downloads (email me for the link) which you can cancel immediately if you'd like. (A credit card is required for the free trial, just remember to cancel and you are fine.)
What types of artists will you find at E-Music? No Avril Lavigne or BackStreet Boys there... but you'll be thrilled if you like Independent/Singer songwriters, up and coming alternative artists, americana or alt- country, folk, gospel, kid's music and more. Here is a list of what we have downloaded in the past few months:
- Aaron Sprinkle
- Dan Zanes (for Coleman)
- Jonah Werner
- Over the Rhine
- Chuck Brodsky
- Waterdeep
- Farmer Not So John
- Jeremy Casella
- Ed Cash
- Gillian Welch
- Stavesacre
- Brace Yourself Bridget (Irish Folk-Rock)
- Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians
- John Prine
- Katy Bowser
- Peter Mulvey
- Ray Charles
- Sandra McCracken
- Sarah McGlaughlin
- Sonia Dada
- Sufjan Stephens
- The Electrics
They also have a lot of old Tom Waits, tons of the indie artists we like so well such as Jason Harrod, Mark Williams, Dog Named David, Claire Holley, Jennifer Daniels, Christopher Williams, Brooks Williams, Beki Hemingway, many of the Awakening Records and Paste Music Artists. For 50 free downloads you can't go wrong.
Leave a comment here if you want a free trial- if you go through me we BOTH get the 50 free and I would love some more great music!
