The online music download service eMusic has announced that it has sold 100 million songs since its relaunch over 3 years ago. This follows a survey into the slowing sales of music on the iTunes service posted several days ago.
For those who don't know, eMusic sells music from independent artists. The upshot of this is that you get DRM free music that works with all players on the market.
The 100th million track was bought by Michael Brennan of New Jersey who purchased a Barenaked Ladies song. This milestone helps secure eMusic as the second biggest online music store behind Apple's iTunes.
I like the idea of this as I'm sure most of you will. Yahoo music also started more DRM free trials recently so maybe these will make the record companies take notice finally. eMusic use a subscription model and the price per track is ridiculuosly cheap compared to every other music download service.
