After Mark mentioned eMusic's legal downloadable music service in a QuickTopic yesterday, I went off and singed up for the "free, unlimited 30-day trial." I was blown away — there are thousands of MP3s that I want there, and the throughput is stellar, nearly 100kps on my DSL connection. I was ready and willing to convert to a paid subscription in a month when my free trial was up. But this morning, when I started downloading a Killdozer CD in toto, I got an error message: "Download Limit Reached: You have reached the download limit for your eMusic Unlimited trial." I'm not saying that 100 MP3s for free and $15/month for all you can eat is a bad deal, but at the same time, a "limited unlimited" trial seems a little false-advertising-y.LinkDiscuss
