NEW YORK, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- What to give your loved one, who's sporting a spanking-new iPod? How about the gift of music? eMusic, that is. For those last minute Santas searching for the perfect holiday gift, eMusic offers the world's largest collection of independent music ever assembled -- 900,000 tracks from the likes of Ray Charles, Spoon, Tom Waits, Coldplay, Johnny Cash, Bjork, The Donnas, Nine Inch Nails, The Pixies, The New Pornographers, Miles Davis, Danger Doom, Ben Lee, My Morning Jacket, Lucinda Williams and Jerry Garcia, among many others. eMusic's "just in time" gift certificates offer 3-month, 6-month or 12-month music subscriptions that are delivered-by email-within 5 minutes of your order.

While every other music service is focused on promoting and selling the same 100 hits, eMusic caters to a truly under-served market -- those users seeking great music that's outside the commercial mainstream. eMusic is unquestionably the digital destination for indie music. eMusic also gives subscribers exclusive access to the largest collection of live music. eMusic records performances nightly through its eMusic Live network, which features some of the best live music venues in America-Maxwell's, The Casbah, The Blind Pig, The Metro and Toad's Place.

eMusic is the only major digital music service to deliver music in the universally compatible MP3 format, the most popular and versatile digital file format. MP3s play on virtually all digital audio players-including the iPod; their compatibility is unparalleled and includes literally hundreds of devices, including mobile phones, home stereos, PDAs, car stereos, DVD players, televisions and even cameras.

eMusic is the only service that offers the usage flexibility that avid music fans demand-unlimited CD burning along with the ability to transfer MP3s to multiple computers and multiple devices-any of the literally hundreds of devices that play MP3s. Songs downloaded from eMusic contain no digital rights management (DRM) software that would otherwise inconvenience or limit a consumer's usage or listening behavior.

"Holiday heroes" can purchase three types of gift subscriptions:

-- 3 months (at 40 downloads/month for $29.97).
-- 6 months (at 40 downloads/month for $59.94).
-- 1 year (at 40 downloads/month for $96.00, a 20 percent savings).

eMusic's unique subscription model enables subscribers to download their favorite songs for approximately twenty-five cents per song -- far cheaper than other leading services.

To place an order, please visit www.emusic.com. Within five minutes of the order being placed, the recipient will receive email notification and can immediately activate the gift subscription. Happy holidays from eMusic!
