If I may add my 2 cents worth here. All the EMI stuff available on
Itunes can be purchased DRM free apparently and if that's not one
great reason for using Itunes then I don't know what is, of course
its only a matter of time before other record company's follow suit.
The EMI catalog can be purchased in DRM versions or the DRM free
versions which are encoded to a higher quality.

Ya, well I'm trying to put together a CD for band practice, and iTunes
simply has the best selection of stuff, hands down. Try searching on the
name of just about any song and you'll get many versions of it. Its
amazing
to just listen to the previews and get a feel for how many ways of
doing the
same song there can be. EMusic does not have this kind of selection, or
this kind of search capability. Ya sure you can search for strings in
artist, track, album fields etc, but then you have to crawl your way
through
the listings and quickly listening to a ppreview of something didn't
seem to
be straightforward.
ITunes is great, but it just isn't accessible. You can sort of do most
things, but I still haven't been able to purchase anything without
sighted
assistance. Moving the mouse to the 99 cent field and clicking does
nothing
except moves me to some other entry in the songs outline.

Emusic is pretty accessible because you don't actually need any
software. You just log into the web site and use your web browser to
download the music. There is no DRM either.

I know that many of you on this list are ardent Mac/Apples fans but I
personally don't like paying 99 cents per track on iTunes, unless I
can't get the tunes I want anywhere else. However, this can get really
expensive when you want to download a lot of tunes. Anyway to cut
to the
chase there are alternatives like emusic.com. I cannot vouch for its
accessibility however but the subscription rates are reasonable and
they
have a great selection of tunes.
