I am also very OCD about my music meta data. If you are having issues or spending a whole lot of time finding missing album art, or artist info, I would recommend the company I work for: TuneUp. Its a software that automatically fills in art, info, and has cool features for concerts & 'now playing'. There is a free demo at www.tuneupmedia.com Check it out and let me know what you think.</p> Thanks for the heads up on eMusic… very thorough. I am also very OCD about my music meta data.

I've really enjoyed the service, but I wholly agree with your criticisms of the eMusic web site. As far as the helper application: Have you tried eMusic Remote? It's a Mozilla-based application and does add your downloads to iTunes. IIRC, eMusic Remote is still beta, but I've been using it for a while and it works well enough. There's some rough edges in it though. For example, the application takes a while, several seconds, to indicate that it has "heard" your download request and indicate that it has begun downloading the requested tracks. It spite of the roughness of some features, I've found it much prefereable to the download manager. YMMV :)</p> <p>you can find eMusic Remote at http://developer.emusic.com/</p> I’m a long-time eMusic user.

(They Might Be Giants fans might recall eMusic's exclusive release of <em>Long Tall Weekend</em> nearly a decade ago.) Very nice that it's grown and remained DRM-free, though.</p> eMusic has been around for quite some time now and was perhaps one of the first online music stores.
