Hi, Glenn,

I'm not an account-holder at emusic.com, but I noticed on first visiting the
site that the listed mp3 links are not for the mp3 files themselves, but
instead take you to a page where you fill in your address and credit card
details. Could this be where you're slipping up?

If not, and you're a registered member of the site, remember that you can
insert usernames/passwords into the URL you're trying to download. From the
Getright help file...

~~~
Some of the formats accepted include:

ftp://ftp.xyz.com/
ftp://ftp.xyz.com/path/path/
(To start in a specific directory.)

ftp://ftp.xyz.com:###/
(To give the port number ###.)

ftp://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxx/path/path/
(To login with a username/password.  The username and password will be
automatically transfered to the Login button items.)

http://www.xyz.com/index.htm
~~~

So, if you've copied the mp3 link you want to the clipboard, you could try
pasting it into GetRight (Ctrl-N), and then modifying the URL to include
your login details, if necessary.
