    Well, I have my refund which I appreciate. If it helps anyone else, I explained that I had inadvertently added one too many tracks. I also stated that I cancelled the download before it started, I had been charged for a service that I hadn't used, I still needed to listen to the music before I made a commitment, and that I hoped they would "restore my faith in their service by refunding my money at the earliest opportunity". As it's Sunday, I think it's fair to say that they did just that.
    Thanks in advance,

    A few weeks ago I signed up for the 25 free downloads trial and downloaded 24 songs, closed my account and when I checked my bank account they had charged me £8.99. I emailed and asked why this is as I only downloaded 24 songs and I demanded a refund, they emailed back saying that they'll generously give me a refund and close my account (which I had already done). Just watch your bank account if you're gonna try the free trial and DEMAND a refund if they try taking your money.
  • I have signed up and managed a few downloads but now cant seem to cancel my membership. Clicked onto account details and all it comes up with is password change any ideas?
  • Recently bought a new mp3 player, and it came with a link to get 100 free downloads instead of 25 which seems to work. :)

    Hah - guess who forgot to cancel and has been charged a month's subscription - darn :mad:

    Also, eMusic took off the balance of unused downloads from the trial (about 50 I think but hadn't kept a record) and so I only had the month's paid-for allowance of 30 available. I have cancelled now and used the 30 (Jimi Hendrix, Show of Hands and Woody Guthry albums) track allowance but have also emailed eMusic to question what happened.

    Just a thought, I now have all these extra tracks on my PC but no proof that I legally downloaded and paid for them. I can produce CDs for all the other tracks on my PC. How does that work then :confused:

    PS Is the MSE site running real slow recently or is it my internet link????

    All links for 100 free downloads seem to have expired - are there any around?

    Thansk!!

    Like a few other posters here, I signed up and really struggled to find any music I wanted.
    I managed to get my lot of free tracks and then cancelled; I don't think it would be any good to subscribe to the service on an ongoing basis though.
