12 cds for the price or 1 (4 real)

[Acme]

You're right. How's this:

Kids, stealing is wrong. Taking music without paying for it is stealing. Except for services like Napster, which we've convinced ourselves is *not* really stealing even though we're still taking music without paying for it.

Does that make you feel better?

Well Napster seems to be officially dead. I've been trying their servers and others via Napigator all afternoon (worked okay this morning).

LOCK IT UP. This isn't a hot deal. Come on a cdclub??!!

Just my smartass twist to the napster issue.

When you get your 12 cd's for free, you are doing the same thing to the artists as when you are on napster. The artist gets no royalties from the 12 free cd's because it is considered promotional. At least that is what I read in the newspapers a while back.

So if you consider napster stealing, you should consider cd clubs stealing as well.

I think this is a good deal. Get the CD's, fulfil your obligation, and then quit the club. This is easier than many PM + MIR deals posted.

I can't believe anyone was using Napster and/or Gnutella exclusively. There are other ways to download MP3's.

what ever happend to good old FTP's for mp3s ???

ive never used napster .. and well ... all the music clubs pretty much suck due to their BS and their terrible selection.

if you buy a LOT of cds ... check out www.emp.de

if you buy like 20 cds from them at once .. it works out to a real good deal cause they give a discount ... and the exchange rate from German Marks to USD favors the USD right now.

another place thats good is www.centurymedia.com
good prices on underground music ... great for large orders as well

will centurymedia have mainstream stuff ... no ... because you can just go to bb or circuit city or walmart to get them ... however they have a massive selection of imports, and other underground stuff that cant be found at most record stores, all at good prices ...

GIVE IT A REST. It's good deal for people who like music.
Please tell us a way to get CDs cheaper legally.



Oh, yeah - Thanks, serzone!

Watch clearances and sales at Tower Records. Better prices and a better selection.

I have been with BMG for close to two years now ... and I more or less like it. Their selection is not the best though.

The only thing that bothered me the most was the monthly mailings ... so I sent them a REALLY nasty e-mail threatning that I will leave the club immediately if they do not stop this nonsense ... and I was really ready to do that, since I had already bought my regular selection. This worked like a charm and I NEVER had any CD mailed to me since then ! Hell, I don't even have to cancel it online !

Sure I get about two junk mails per month from them, but then again that doesn't bother me much !

Just thought of sharing this in case anyone else wants to give this a try.

You could also try this with CH or CDHQ, and who knows, it just might work.
