NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2006 -- eMusic, the No. 1 site for independent music, continues to add more great gift ideas for the music lover on your holiday list including the latest: an exclusive eMusic Digital Starter Kit with a bonus MP3 player from Thompson RCA, a $229 value for just $69.99.

The subscription allows music lovers to download 15 songs per month from eMusic's library of more than 1.8 million tracks. With 180 songs spread out over 12 months, the kit is a perfect stocking stuffer for music lovers with eclectic tastes.

The kit also includes a step-by-step guide on downloading music and a special eMusic artist collectible card featuring acclaimed indie singer/songwriter Cat Power. eMusic provides tracks in the universally-compatible MP3 format, so music can be easily transferred to the included Thomson RCA player, iPod® or any other MP3 player. The Digital Starter Kit is produced in a limited quantity and is now available for the holiday season in Circuit City stores nationwide and on the Web at www.circuitcity.com until supplies last.

eMusic also has teamed up with Naxos of America to offer MPKey, a series of downloadable classical digital box sets. Additionally, eMusic offers special Starter Subscriptions and online gift certificates.

The innovative MPKey box sets are perfect gifts for classical music lovers and offer an easy, affordable way to explore the world of classical music online featuring music from the extensive Naxos label catalogue. The three- and six-hour collections are priced at $14.99 and $19.99 and include ‘Chill with Classical Music, Vol. 1' (Music by Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov); 'Very Best of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart'; and 'Great Symphonies; Classical Music for Book Lovers.” MPKey is available exclusively at Borders stores nationwide through December 1, and will be available at retailers nationwide after that date.

Another easy eMusic gift option is the Starter Subscription which offers 65 free downloads for $14.99, and also is available in Circuit City stores nationwide and at www.circuitcity.com.
