Line Out - Comments on Other Music Digital Store http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/04/other_music_digital_store God help me and my credit card—NYC boutique Other Music has finally opened its online digital download "store." What a refreshing change from iTunes or eMusic, to click on a service and see the Top Tracks right now include selections...

Panda Bear is #2 on the list there, too, and they feature albums by all these artists (at 1/2 - 2/3 the price, though at a lower bitrate).

Reighley Fair enough — in all honesty, I have not used eMusic in a long time, and should have double-checked their current roster before making that unintentional slight. Mostly I was just excited OM digital was finally "live."

Everything they recommend is gold and they carry or will find just about anything you can imagine. My credit card is eating up music as I write. GOD bless OM!!!

It's a bit hard to describe to someone who doesn't know about it, but, it's just this... intelligent music store. It's filled with rarities and titles you'd never think to look for but are amazed to find. Even their rap section is filled with intelligent music and free of repetitive knuckleheads that make the charts.

This is a good, good thing.

They turned me on to Free Design 4-5 years ago and it totally hit the spot. That place is dreeeeeeeamy!

AND i can never find K records artists at OM. weird.

this digital thing, pretty great. although i walked in there the other day and saw the poor shopgirl with a TOWERING BEHEMOTH OF CD'S, painstakingly uploading each and every one.
