That's why I said, "It's a great option if it has the music you like, but it it has a relatively limited selection." By “relatively limited”, you’re right in assuming that I meant the site lacks a lot of mainstream artists but I also meant that, even though the site features TONS of less known or underground artists, eMusic isn’t a one stop shop if you’re looking for underground artists as well.

By "relatively limited", I'm assuming you don't mean sizewise, as the site has 12 main categories, with many subdivisions. You can't mean amount of songs available, as there's a near limitless supply. You also can't mean quality, as there's everything on there from Asobi Seksu to Public Enemy via Johnny Cash and The Turtles. So.....by "relatively limited", I can only assume you mean "no (insert name of mainstream top 40 act here)", but isn't that what something like iTunes is for? In terms of being "limited", I actually find services such as iTunes *more* restrictive. The other day I obtained a hard to get album from EMusic that was impossible to get anywhere else and would have set me back $124 on Amazon. Limited? Emusic is a lot of things, but limited certainly isn't one of them. “It’s a great option if it has the music you like, but it it has a relatively limited selection.”
