I'm already an eMusic subscriber, so I'd certainly pay for Ninja Tune
downloads assuming similar terms (previewable or well-described, good
quality, burnable format like mp3, no technical controls over what you
do with the tracks, etc).
I'd pay a lot more than $1 for Solid Steel mix downloads, too.
My main gripe with eMusic is that they're not adding music I want
frequently enough for my liking. Of course, it didn't help that I'd
already bought a load of the stuff which is up there -- Merck,
Schematic, Fax, Mille Plateaux, etc -- *before* I subscribed :-(
The location-based download restrictions for some releases (Cornelius,
Pizzicato 5) are also annoying as a non-North American subscriber.
