Dont think so, as I have a trial account there (gave 'em my cc number etc).

I couldnt figure out how to do that with a http URL.
However, some of the emusic.com files are stored at mp3.com! The link that
emusic.com provides for certain files are only redirects, *even* if the URL
they have programmed into download buttons *seemingly* go directly to the
mp3 file. If you can trick the browser to give you the mp3.com location of
the file, by interrupting a normal download, then you can copy&paste the
mp3.com location into Getright and then download.
Found out by accident. I dont know if this is the case for all emusic.com
files. I only tried a couple of albums.
