Emusic, even in limited capacity, is better...
I don't care what anyone says, Emusic is better than the other downloadable music services in a few repects. As said well by Emusic itself:
Q: How can eMusic compete with the major label-backed services?
A: That's simple - like we always have. We're not trying to be like everyone else - in fact our strategy is to specifically not follow the same blueprint of all the other services. eMusic will differentiate itself in two important ways:
MP3. This is the format of choice for music consumers and we are committed to giving you all the interoperability and flexibility that comes from an open format. We're still the only major service offering music in the MP3 format.
We're building a SERVICE for the millions of avid music fans that want something beyond the mainstream. We will continue to focus on music from the world's best independent labels and finding unique ways for you to explore, discover and acquire great music. In addition, we're committed to continuing to offer you more music at lower per track costs than any other service.
I hate to sound like an asshole, but if you find their catalog limited, you listen to crap.
