Buying Music?

[midwestfisherman]

Whats the cheapest place to buy music legally. I want the physical media (i.e. the CD)

 

[AnyMal]

Amazon, eBay, Half.com all carry used CD's

 

[IAteYourMother]

yourmusic.com

 

[SmoochyTX]

Half, eBay, pawn shops

new: check price at both DeepDiscountCD.com and Amazon (amazon is sometimes cheaper)

used: what AnyMal said. "used" sellers at Anazon can also be $10 cheaper for buying a new, shrinkwrapped import CD than buying from Amazon itself.

I just go to local used CD/movie stores ...

usually $10 Cdn or less ... which is like $8 US

Napster unlimited downloads for $9.95/mo + FairUse4WM.

Now that's cheap...and rather grey markety.

Yarrr matey, fixed be that for ye.

Apparently you missed the word "legal" in the OP.

The $15/month version of Napster is a decent and legal way to rent songs for use with compatible players though.

I use amazon, half.com, deepdiscountcd, and yourmusic (check out yourmusic... it's good for standard CD's).

I also frequent places like Rasputin and Amoeba to buy used stuff.

yourmusic.com sounds too good to be true, I mean there's gotta be a catch right?

It also depends a bit on what music you are buying specificly. I order a lot of death metal CDs, and I have ordered 50+ CDs at one time before, it has been my experience, that if you order large quantities of underground music directly from the recording company, then they will give you kick ass prices, now if you are ordering more mainstream type of stuff, then you may push your luck trying to get a discount, but it may be an avenue worth exploring.

No catch. I've been raiding their SACD collection.
