The indie Napster
Emusic is for the trainspotters who can’t find their favourite stuff on Napster. The service features low rates (the basic subscription works out to 25 cents per track), high bitrate MP3s (196 kbps instead of the standard 128) that will play on any MP3 player and a 600,000 track selection of music from independent labels
Salon (day pass/registration required) reports that the service has recently got hold of the back catalogue of Sun Records (no Elvis but no great loss eh) including classic tracks by Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins. It also has music writers on the site plus this week’s ‘up and coming section’ features M.i.a. (also not on Napster)
