eMusic launches free software download manager

Nate sez, "I've been a fan of eMusic's DRM-free tunes for some time, but I'm really impressed with their launch of a new download manager called 'eMusic Remote' for their store. It's all open-source, built on a core of Firefox to integrate the eMusic web store. Not only is it open-source, but it's been released for been launched for Linux, Windows and OSX all at the same time. It works as a standalone and it also integrates with iTunes, which solves the problem of having to maintain a separate library for your new downloads. Incidentally, the lead coder on the project was a guy by the name of Mel Reyes who wrote a book called 'Hacking Firefox: More than 150 Hacks & Mods' and a author of about a dozen add-ons for Firefox."
