eMusic became the first retailer to sell digital audiobooks in the MP3 format in 2007. It offers DRM-free audiobooks from all the major audiobook publishers including Hachette, Harper Audio, Macmillan, Penguin, Random House, and Simon & Schuster. The eMusic audiobooks catalogue spans top-selling fiction and non-fiction, biography/memoir, mystery, history, business, politics, science language instruction, self-help, and children’s books. Among them are notable books narrated by well-known voices such as: Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient, read by Ralph Fiennes; Shakespeare’s Hamlet, read by Sir John Gielgud; Henry James’ A Portrait of A Lady, read by Elizabeth McGovern; Nicola Kraus’s The Nanny Diaries, read by Julia Roberts; and Barack Obama reading his own books, Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope.
eMusic recognizes that not all customers want a one-size-fits-all, mass market music experience. By using the advantages of the web and social media, eMusic recreates the benefits of the corner music store -- supporting curatorial excellence and an intelligent environment where music enthusiasts can celebrate their passion, while casual and lapsed music fans can reconnect with today’s best music and rediscover old favorites.
eMusic’s award-winning editorial content provides helpful insight that tells customers why they should care about the latest release or essential catalogue title. Drawing on the knowledge of more than 200 of the world's best-known music journalists, eMusic boasts daily reviews, artist Q&As, profiles on emerging acts, in-depth essays on musicians past and present and the ever-popular eMusic Dozen – a spotlight on the 12 best records in a particular genre or by a particular artist.
State-of-the-art recommendation technology helps fans discover hot new artists, legendary classics and hidden gems in eMusic’s vast catalogue. Combining human analysis with computer algorithms, the recommendation system fine-tunes itself with every action the customer takes, encouraging true music discovery and trust in the service.
