Even without the audio books yet, the selection of old blues/jazz looks good. However, nowhere do they tell you what samplerate the MP3's are. I assume the same, crappy 128Kb/s that most people offer, but I wanted to make sure. I tried to use their online contact form to ask them about the samplerate, but I can't do that either. Their contact form requires a partial credit card number. Since I am not a customer, I have no intention of giving them even a partial number. Even if I was an existing customer, this is pretty stupid, requiring this information just to be able to contact customer support. I had never heard of eMusic before, so I went to their web site.
