Hi Everyone:
We're here, and we're reading every word on Facebook and elsewhere. We feel as passionately about eMusic as you do and would not have made this decision if we did not feel strongly that it will be beneficial to everyone involved.
We've given it a lot of thought, and we're confident that we can integrate Sony music in a way that does justice to eMusic – and not just eMusic as a business, but eMusic as those of us who use it every day know and love it.
Obviously, a lot of comments have been about the pricing. The Great Recession of 2009 is not the best time to be doing this. We own up to that. However, we - and our labels - simply cannot sustain some of the lowest cost plans that many of you currently have. The price increase is not just about Sony, it is for all of our labels, including the ones that have left over the years and those we have yet to sign.
We appreciate you, our most loyal customers and we understand that people have naturally reacted strongly to yesterday's news. All that we can ask is that you show some patience, that you see how we go about handling this catalogue. We have a lot to offer real music fans. We have since 1998, we do today, and we will once Sony launches. That will not change.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We will continue to check back.

Hey eMusic Fans,
We just added the Death Row Records hip-hop catalogue. It includes some of the best Death Row releases and gangster rap from the early 90’s. From Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” to 2Pac’s “All Eyez On Me” you’re sure to be taken back and appreciate what real hip hop was.

Hey eMusic Fans,
Our May eMusic Selects artists have been chosen. This month’s artists are Altair Nouveau — a taste of their sci-fi disco was on the Selected + Collected compilation -- and Julianna Barwick, with dreamy vocal loops, otherworldly sounds, and a previous record beloved by everyone. Both releases are EPs (five tracks for Altair, six for Julianna), and both are fantastic.
