Other Music May Have Just Saved My Indie Life



I was going to check online to see if Other Music has tickets to the Mum show this Friday night when I came across their new portal when you visit othermusic.com.

Turns out other music has a digital business now! This means I may not have to use Emusic after all.

Itunes is basically NOT linux friendly, leaving me with Emusic as my digital alternative. I really like Emusic, but their selection is somewhat limited. I'd rather pay more per mp3 for more selection.

Unfortunately all their digital music is only availible in 320 kbp non variable bit MP3. I say unfortunately because mp3 isn't open source like ogg vorbis or flac, but I can live with that. AND the mp3's that Other Music sells ARE DRM-free, so FU to apple and itunes, once and for all.
