No press release yet, but eMusic has added two quarterly plans (90-day plans, to be exact) to its subscription options:
60 Quarterly -- 60 downloads for $19.99The pricing is much more favorable than the monthly plans.
100 Quarterly -- 100 downloads for $24.99
The 100 quarterly option would give a subscriber 400 downloads over a 360-day period for $99.96 or 25 cents a track. But the closest equivalent monthly plan, eMusic basic (30 downloads every 30 days for $11.99) gives subscribers 360 downloads in the same time period for a total cost of $143.88 or 40 cents a track.
There's a similar disparity between the 60 tracks per quarter and 20 tracks a month plans -- the quarterly plan works out to 33 cents a track while monthly subscribers pay 45 cents a track.
