Pitchfork: Articles: The Social History of the MP3

“[W]e want to let our U.S. subscribers know that soon we’ll be adding even more of the music you want from the catalogues of labels like Arista, Columbia, Epic and RCA [to Emusic]...” though they have to revoke my grandfathered account plan to do it, charging me almost twice the $ per song. I hope it's worth it.

CD Baby: MP3
CD Baby sells MP3s of participating artists' albums directly instead of reselling to other online music retailers for the thinnest possible cut. Awesome!

Wired News: The Day the Music Died
"Nine thousand songs?" I interjected incredulously. "Who the hell has 9,000 songs?" Mike shot me a withering look. "Ninety-thousand songs. I said 90,000 songs. And, I do."
