In order not to compound the confusion, I submitted the following Post to EMG before posting it. He agrees with my interpretation of his Announcement. The "body of files" are intended to be one of the
exclusive benefits for Premium Members and will be available to Premium Members
only.

Here's what EMG said in his Announcement on Premium Memberships:
EMG wrote:
WMM now has a Premium level of Membership. Users signing on as Premium Members are guaranteed 4 new files every month and will get the newest files first(4 months before non-members). They will also be granted access to the bodies of files so they can build playlists easily, and will also recieve Premium voting rights(every vote you make counts for 5 regular member votes). By becoming a Premium Member you help support the site and guarantee it's continued growth. Membership is $6.95 a month with discounts for users who buy 3, 6, or 12 month memberships.
Unless I am misreading EMG's language, he says (with regard to new files) that Premium Members "are guaranteed 4 new files every month and will get the newest files first (4 months before non-members)." I take it that if Premium Members can access a new file in August, then non-Premium members can access that file in December.
The foregoing information on files is contained in the second sentence, above.
Sentence three refers to the bodies of files, new or old. EMG says that Premium Members "will also be granted access to the bodies of files so they can build playlists easily...."
The reference to 4-month delayed access is in the sentence that deals with four new files per month.
The sentence on bodies of files contains no mention of time-delayed access by non-Premium Members.
An additional reason for becoming a Premium Member!
I think I am reading plain English plainly.
I see a difference between EMG's language and the interpretation offered by maskedwomyn. EMG's language makes it more advantageous to become a Premium Member.

In his announcements EMG said that all new files would be available to premium members first. Since he never distributed the file bodies before all the bodies are new files. Once the premium period is over they should be as free as all the others.
