Review summary

Users consistently praise eMusic for its indie-focused catalog and the ability to own mp3s, plus longevity of their membership and perceived value for money. However, frequent reliability problems (playback and downloads) and gaps in catalog (missing or no longer available titles) are common complaints. Some users also report navigation and UI issues, such as lack of preferred features like landscape or night mode, and inconsistent app responsiveness. Overall, eMusic remains a strong option for indie music lovers with a long-standing user base, but stability and catalog availability caveats temper the experience.

Pros

Strong indie/alternative music catalog.
Long-time membership with years of access and loyalty.
You can keep downloaded MP3s and upload your own music (CD rips) to the library.
Affordable monthly price (around $10/month).

Cons

Frequent playback and download reliability issues.
Missing titles / content no longer available, leading to gaps in the catalog.
Navigation and UI gaps, including missing features like landscape and night mode.

2026-03-13	Th*****	Updated review... Don't... They charge $10 a month which you can spend. But if you don't buy anything, you lose it at the end of the month, NO credits. When you do buy, your titles may not be delivered. The app also sucks, navigation is horrible. Wish this service was better, they have some hard to find indie gems. My 2nd time around and ending it this month. 1st time was over 15 yrs ago. They don't even respond when trying to contact. Very sad, very disappointing. So much potential. Too cheep!

2025-12-30	Ch*****	Site user ability has been intermittent for the past couple of months. Issues with uploads and downloading/playing purchased music are still on going. I'm tempted to hold my account until they can get this fixed. why pay for a service that barely works.
