My main reason is, well, there's a whole bunch of 'em. I've been a subscriber to EMusic.com for a couple of years now, and I love it. Not that it has a lot of 'brand new' stuff; but, you can't beat for some great folk/world/blues material.

I've found artists there that I never would have found at any retail source. It's just $10.00 a month, with unrestricted amount of download. I know this may sound like another 'commercial'; but, I really do recommend a look-see from those of you who have ecclectic music tastes (like myself) ;-)

Did I mention that you get a free trial subscription, including 50 downloads? Well, there you go.

All the best, Áine
