While every other music service is focused on promoting and selling the same 100 hits, eMusic caters to a truly under-served market -- those users seeking great music that's outside the commercial mainstream. eMusic is unquestionably the digital destination for indie music. eMusic also gives subscribers exclusive access to the largest collection of live music. eMusic records performances nightly through its eMusic Live network, which features some of the best live music venues in America-Maxwell's, The Casbah, The Blind Pig, The Metro and Toad's Place. eMusic is the only major digital music service to deliver music in the universally compatible MP3 format, the most popular and versatile digital file format. MP3s play on virtually all digital audio players -- including Apple Computer(R)'s iPod(R); their compatibility is unparalleled and includes literally hundreds of devices, including mobile phones, home stereos, PDAs, car stereos, DVD players, televisions and even cameras. eMusic is the only service that offers the usage flexibility that avid music fans demand-unlimited CD burning along with the ability to transfer MP3s to multiple computers and multiple devices -- any of the literally hundreds of devices that play MP3s. Songs downloaded from eMusic contain no digital rights management (DRM) software that would otherwise inconvenience or limit a consumer's usage or listening behavior.
