		<description><![CDATA[@Joe -- In your system preferences, go to the QuickTime preferences. Then in the Advanced tab, click the &#039;MIME Settings...&#039; button. Scroll down to the line for MP3, expand that with the triangle to the left, and then make sure that the box for &quot;MP3 playlist&quot; is checked (it&#039;s not by default). Then click OK and close preferences. You may need to restart the eMusic Remote and QuickTime (and iTunes) if running.

This &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; fix the issue, but if not, there&#039;s a great Preference Pane out there called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/&quot; title=&quot;Rubicode - RCDefaultApp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RCDefaultApp&lt;/a&gt; that definitely will.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Bill - Can&#039;t get it to work. I&#039;m using eMusic Remote and can&#039;t find a way to add a new file type. They File Types pane has only png and tiff entries and no button to add a new entry. I also looked in about:config, the preferences folder, and the plist in the package and didn&#039;t see any file type entries at all. Any ideas?

The more I use eMusic Remote the more I like it. But if I was stuck using the original browser interface with Download Manager I would have given up (and did until I went remembered you said to try out the remote instead). Anyways, I have long ignored eMusic so thanks for the post. I&#039;ve gotten a bunch of cool stuff already.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Joe -- I&#039;m not so fond of that, either, but that&#039;ll happen with any streaming M3U playlists by default. Try setting your browser to have QuickTime handle the .m3u files instead of letting iTunes (the default). When I do that, Firefox opens the playlist inside the QuickTime plugin quite nicely, and no littering of the iTunes library.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to try eMusic, go to ,&lt;a href=&quot;http://emusic.com/cowon&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;emusic.com/cowon&lt;/a&gt;. This gets you 100 free tracks. The music selection these days is pretty good. They have White Stripes, Interpol, Bloc Party, so not just unknown indie bands. That said, I&#039;m not going to purchase a subscription. And also, the remote thingy is UGLY on a Mac.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Graham -- I think, supposedly, you could install the XPI extension (which is really all that eMusic has added) into your own favorite &#039;Fox and have the same functionality. Or, hey, hit &lt;b&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&#x2318;T&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and pop open another tab inside eMusic Remote! :-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmm, so I liked the new app at first, but after actually using it to download some stuff, I&#039;m kind of wondering &quot;so what?&quot; There isn&#039;t really any more convenience using it than using Firefox and letting the .emp files open in the download manager automatically. In fact, there&#039;s the extra step of having to switch gears from my normal browsing in FF to open up a different browser. Oh well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Andrew -- That sounds like a good setup, actually. While I consider myself an advanced Mac user, I&#039;ve never really bothered with Hazel or &lt;a href=&quot;http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Quicksilver&lt;/a&gt; enough to make them work for me. I&#039;m more of a low-level guy: I used to be a Unix kernel programmer, and my terminal window is still always open in OS X.

@ComicDork -- I&#039;m not sure what you mean by horrible interface; you mean the web site or the download manager? I do agree with you about rollover being frustrating, but once you realize it, you plan accordingly, like meals. At least that&#039;s how I do it: my &quot;saved for later&quot; list always has something in it. The selection is sometimes hit or miss, but I would fault the record companies, not eMusic, for that; most of them (especially the Big Four) don&#039;t want to agree to open MP3 downloads, and eMusic won&#039;t do it any other way. As for the standalone app: Here it is. iTunes does set the bar high, and eMusic &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; trying. The eMusic Remote is a ginormous improvement over the previous interface, lightyears closer to the iTunes interface (without having to reinvent the wheel, thanks to Gecko). I like open music, and I like indie music: eMusic is not perfect, but they&#039;re a great complement to iTunes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thing is eMusic &lt;em&gt;sounds&lt;/em&gt; great and it &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be great... but it isn&#039;t.  It&#039;s annoying.  Super crazy annoying.

Let me count the ways eMusic bugs:
- horrible interface (it&#039;s been at least 3 years, time for a refresh)
- spotty selection of music
- no rollover of monthly credits
- needs stand alone app... it&#039;s either a web-site or an app: they really need to pick one

I&#039;ve used it and quit twice and it will talk a lot to get me back as a user (and I like the music they offer).  iTunes set the bar high and eMusic just isn&#039;t trying.]]></description>
