eMusic recently added over 250,000 new songs to their download library!

After spending months in negotiations with record companies, a final agreement was finally reached and a quarter of  a million songs were added in one shot.

In addition to adding new music, eMusic has also recently changed their pricing structure.

Instead of giving users a set number of downloads per month for their subscription fee, each user is now assigned a specific dollar amount and pulls from that pool of dollars for each song or album that is downloaded.

This was a necessary change due to the fact that songs are no longer downloaded based on points per song. Some songs are $.49 each, while others might be $.79 each. Because of the price variations, the old point system would no longer work.

With this new influx of music, eMusic has taken one more step toward being a major player in the music download industry.

Happy Listening,
