As you may have noticed, I am an audiophile and I cannot stand hearing music at 256 kbps, or god forbid 128 kpbs. Well you know what I also hate? I hate having to buy CDs at $12 bucks a pop to be able to listen to good quality music. So the other day during my internet roaming I found this site.
Now having CD’s shipped to my door for $6.99 a piece, that’s a deal I can stand. I mean this is pretty much dirt cheap for new, never used CDs. Lets say you get a used CD for $4 on eBay and you pay $1.00 shipping or something around that. Well yes, you did save $2, but think about it this way, selling your used CD to someone or some store won’t get you much money at all. Selling a new CD like the ones you just bought should get you anywheres from $1 to $6 depending on if you kept it in good condition and how valuable the actual CD is (all about supply and demand).
So I signed up for this site, and all it requires is $6.99 monthly from Paypal, or your credit card. From this subscription you get one CD free per month through your order queue, much like Netflix. So the subscription is pretty much just to make sure that you stay with the service, since you get a free CD each month paid by the subscription.
The site is very easy to navigate through, complete with suggestions on music that is similar to the genre of the CD you are looking at.
The only downside of the service is that they have a limited number of artists since it is done by BMG direct. This leads me to believe that they only have CDs by labels associated with Sony/BMG, but I may be wrong. Even then, not all artists are on yourmusic.com.
Besides the downside of having a limited amount of CDs this service works very well, and when I buy CDs from there, listen and then sell them to my local music store, the cost of the original CD comes out to be around $4 or less with a $3 resale value.
