Pressplay To Offer Unlimited Downloads

from the one-step-closer dept

Slowly (very very slowly) the music labels are beginning to realize that they need to give the consumers more and more of what they want in terms of digital music. Now, instead of limiting users to 50 downloads a month, Pressplay is going to introduce a plan that will allow unlimited downloads. Of course, it still has a number of other restrictions, and probably won't generate that much consumer interest - but at least it's a start.

    Emusic gets it

    Emusic.com comes closest to getting it right. No download limits, no obnoxious DRM, no special software. Just pure MP3 goodness. Sure, you won't find the current top 40 in their catalog (as if that was a bad thing), but I found more than enough older and indie stuff that I wanted to make it worth signing up.
