from an offer that was in the weekend edition of the Observer

http://www.emusic.com/observer

you have to sign up with a credit card but you can cancel within 14 days and keep your downloads if you want. It's much cheaper than iTunes if you do like em though

Selection of songs is terrible, though. Very hard to find anything useful. Don't forget to cancel the CC straight away as they will start charging your from the second month on.

I agree with what whiterebel said.

I had a 75 free songs offer through a magazine and was hard pushed to find that many songs I liked.

Some may struggle to find 40 that they like. Might suit some musical tastes though.

if you like truely indie music and don't want u2/the killers or x-factor pop songs then there's some brilliant stuff on it

There's more than a good enough selection to find 40 tracks or a few albums.

If only you got them for free no one would complain.. oh, wait..

Yeah, this was a great heads up! Thanks, just got a lots of stuff I've been trying to find for ages.

Great deal,

I was wondering after I've registered with site, do I cancel or remove the credit card on my emusic account to stop subscription or some other way through credit card account itself?

Mmmm_Lemony · 03-11-2009, 08:44

So how does this site work? 1 credit a month? What is the subscription fee after the free trial is over? And what do you get for it. What format are the downloads? What do you need to install? I'm having trouble finding this info on the actual website.

the trial is 14 days and after you pay €6.49 for 12 songs right up to €30.99 for 75 songs

Q: How do I cancel my subscription?

A: You can cancel your eMusic subscription from Your Account page. Look for the Cancel Membership link under the Change Plan heading.

If you have a music and an audiobook subscription you can cancel either your audiobooks subscription alone or cancel both your music and audiobooks subscriptions. You'll find both options under the Account Options menu on the Your Account page.

I signed up to emusic but it only shows 25 free song downloads instead of forty.

Did I do something wrong? I might have had cookies switched off on Observer offer page.

Any help appreciated.
