eMusic is now raising rates on its entry-level subscription tier, according to details shared by the company. The online music store bundles a pre-set number of downloads into various monthly packages, a cross between a-la-carte and subscription offerings. A formal announcement will be shared with existing subscribers later this morning, and changes go into effect July 17th. Newer subscribers will experience the elevated rate immediately, according to plans revealed to Digital Music News.

The changes specifically affect eMusic Basic, a first-level plan that currently offers 30 monthly downloads for $9.99. That price point will move to $11.99, though existing subscribers will be given an extra 10 downloads per month to soften the blow. For some Basic subscribers, the modified package translates into a monthly allocation of 50 downloads for $11.99.
