I might have been jumping the gun just a little bit yesterday, when I criticised the eMusic website for having problems with file extensions. Alarm bells probably should have been ringing when I said I was apparently the only person on the message boards to have experienced such issues.

For reasons unknown to me (because I felt like it, in other words), I decided to see if the problems of the emx files appearing instead of emp files occured using the KDE browser Konqueror. I'll be frank. The problems did not occur.

It seems something was amiss with the Opera web browser. Now whether this has occured because of the recent eMusic changes or not, I don't know but I did a full clean re-install of Opera and the problem persisted. I then put Firefox onto my system, and that worked, and continues to work fine.

As a result, I have scrapped Opera and gone back to Firefox which is good in another way - I can have the eMusic toolbar, giving me quick and easy access to the daily free download amongst other features.

So my faith in eMusic is reaffirmed; and because of that, I have used my remaining 8 downloads for the month getting two thirds of an album by the Trembling Blue Stars. The remaining songs on the album will have to wait until my account refreshes.
