Category: the Rant Board
I'm writing this because I'm wondering if I'm the only member of eMusic on here? for those of you who don't know what EMusic is, it's a downloading website where you pay to download music from. It's kind of like amazon but cheeper. I had put my account on hold, and while my account was on hold, they had changed their site. It's so bad in fact, that a friend of mine tried to sign up, and when you're suppose to select the credit card type, it was a read only edit box and even freedom scientific couldn't figure it out. Jaws just doesn't see things right anymore on there. I had already emailed them about it. But I'd like to keep downloading from them, since i like to look at music and see what I like. Plus they've got stuff that you can't find in other places. I told them that amazon.com and other sites have become accessible, and i don't think they want to be given a bad name by the blind comunity. I mean, even though we're a minority, we're people to. I usually don't fight for stuff like this, but if I'm paying them money, and can't get the music I want, then that's a problem with me. so anyway, that's my little rant. i just hope they email me back, because I'd hate to have to cansel my account after being a member for so long.
I'm going to check them out. I never thought they had much of a selection of corrent stuff, but maybe so. They always come attached to Winamp and some other downloads if you don't uncheck the box.
I just use Youtube. It's free and easy. But if y ou do choose to pay for something, you should get your money's worth. Good luck.
If you can get on there and download, then that's great. There's different plans you can pay for. they've got over ten million songs now, so they've really upgraded their selection. Let me know how it goes.
Well okay. It's possible, but it's to difficult just to get some music when their are other sites that work easy and you don't have to get out your geek squad permit. Lol. I agree it's just not accessible and complaining is good, because it really could be setup easier. When you get to the month and year you have to open the list box, but then the dates start to roll quickly, so you have to stop that then you can arrow to the one you want. Okay hit inter. Now you can't see the date, but okay assume it's set. Now the year. How did I open that list box again? *sigh* forget it! hahaha. I didn't get signed up. Smile.
Well, email the NFB if you can. There are hearings going on with regards to possible updates to the Title II of the ADA.
The NFB is attending and pressing for updates so that any commercial web site will be forced to offer reasonable accessibility accomodations.
If they manage to push this through it would be simple to sue those web sites, like eMusic who do not make reasonable accomodations.
