From Terabyte Drives Make It Challenging To Create Regular Backups
Restoring your music collection from emusic can take you a long time...
Now I get to spend the entire day downloading almost all my emusic collection from scratch. Fortunately they remember everything I previously downloaded. But they don't have a "download all" button. I have to go to each artist, then each album, then sometimes to each song individual, or to the album as a whole, and click a download link, then wait 20-30 seconds while the emusic remote software UI hangs up and becomes unresponsive while it processes the request into it's background queue. Then hit the back button, and go to the next. I've completed over 120 pages of the book "Free Lunch" by David Cay Johnston, so that gives you some idea how long this has been taking. Too bad their UI does such a poor job at coordinating the background downloads.
