e before i?
It's taken them a long while, but eMusic has finally launched in Europe. In the US, emusic's use of the mp3 format and DRM-free files has seen it grow into the number two online music retailer behind iTunes; it's hoped the subscription-based (but permanently owned) system will prove as attractive on this side of the Atlantic.

i'm confused. i live in london and have been subscribing to eMusic for years.
what are you on about?
There's been no bar on people subscribing to the US service from the UK, but there hasn't actually been a European-based/facing service until yesterday.
Unless the company has been running a European service they don't actually know about, as eMusic seem convinced they only arrived in the EU yesterday
