Floppyhead – Digital Media and Streaming

I am a loyal Emusic subscriber. That being said, I think the company has gone completely looney. On November 21st, 2006, Emusic will be reducing its monthly download allotments for new accounts. While the price of eMusic Basic, Plus, and Premium subscription plans will remain the same, the number of downloads in each plan will change: to 30, 50, and 75 songs. The reductions are about 25% across the board. For the same price you get 25% less than what you get now.

Who had this brilliant idea? Emusic should be making their service more competitive against iTunes, not less. I really wonder what they are thinking. To put this in even greater perspective, the service use to give you unlimited downloads for $9.99. I love progress.
