What about my orginal question?
RIAA-sanctioned services, be they pay-per-track or pay-monthly, provide DRM'd low to mid quality music that can potentially die if they change the license.
Personally, I don't recommend any of them. I think they're all a bad rip off. You'd be better off buying the CD and ripping it yourself. ...Note that ripping a CD that you own is 100% legal, as long as you don't share the ripped tracks beyond your immediate family.
Independent artists often offer high-quality tracks for free or at a very low price. Google for them.
And what about emusic.com?
eMusic seems interesting; worth checking out at least. Looks like it's been around for a while. Lots of interesting artists. Many of eMusic's preview tracks seem to be lower quality than the regular streaming radio station I listen to. I donno if that means their downloadable track are poor to... But hey, it's a free trial...
