Just got this today; I'll re-download some of the unDJ-able stuff from the past and report on whether it's any better.

Dear EMusic subscriber,

I'm pleased to inform you of a number of significant
enhancements to your EMusic service.

In response to the MANY requests from subscribers, we have
increased the bit rate of our MP3s from 128 KBPS to a
high-quality Variable Bit Rate (VBR). For those of you
not familiar with the "ins and outs" of encoding, this
means that the sound quality of our tracks has improved
dramatically. I feel comfortable saying that there is no
other music subscription service offering anything close
to EMusic's sound quality.

In addition, today we are launching the EMusic Download
Manager 2.0, including new versions of the download
manager for our Mac and Linux customers. The Windows
version includes fixes to a number of issues in the
previous version. The new Macintosh and Linux versions
are functionally equivalent to the Windows version and
will dramatically improve the downloading experience for
these customers. Click below to download the new version:

* Note: you must download the EMusic Download Manager 2.0
in order to download tracks or albums from EMusic.
Previous versions of the EMusic DLM or third party
download managers will not work. Click here to read a more
detailed discussion about these recent changes at EMusic.

As always, I thank you for being an EMusic subscriber and
for your ongoing support.


Best regards,

Steve Grady

Whoa, big difference. I A/B-ed a bunch of tracks and would have no trouble telling them apart...

I did a "Taste-test" using my wife. Playing the original against a downloaded copy (of CD I already owned), using a nice pair of headphones. She (nor I really) could tell the difference.

Good 'nuff for me.

Since Friday I've increased my collection by about 28 CD's.
