Best Site For Independent Music

EMusic's catalog consists mainly of indie groups and emerging artists, along with a healthy dose of classical music. In addition, some major artists' recordings on smaller labels at the beginning or end of their careers… can also be found. In 2009, eMusic signed a deal with Sony Entertainment to carry its back catalog of songs, significantly increasing the site's mainstream selections. Because eMusic uses the MP3 format, tracks are playable on nearly all music players, including iPods, with no usage restrictions. Songs can't be bought individually, but monthly download packages for between 24 and 50 tunes bring the cost per track down to 50 cents or less.
