eMusic closing their door on New Zealand..NZ Musician magazine says that the "US-based music subscription site eMusic is to close the door on New Zealand users [...] existing New Zealand customers will continue to be able to use the service [...] However, they will soon stop accepting new customers from New Zealand (or anywhere else outside the US, Canada or EU). The situation is particularly harsh on users from New Zealand. American users faced with price increases will at least be getting access to a raft of new repertoire thanks to the Sony deal. Canadian, British and EU customers won't immediately get the Sony tracks, but their music prices are being maintained. New Zealanders get the worst end of both deals - no new content but increased prices nonetheless." Update Brenda suggests that eMusic customers into indie music have a look at Audio Lunchbox.
