You should be able to average around $4.75 per CD if you join and commit to 12 for 1, and wait for a buy 1 get 2 free sale. This deal has been available for years and I've taken advantage of it plenty of times. Columbia House came out with some great codes earlier this year where you could get an average price of about $3.75 per CD.Originally posted by: tedkelly
I do wonder if you'd be better off signing up for the club, if you wanted to get a bunch of discs. The average price per disc can be pretty cheap if you quit after getting the minimum.

It's a little like book clubs, but less so ... they often publish their own versions to take out production cost. Except there's more they can do with books to cheapen them up - materials and printing and paper, etc.
- The music on the discs is going to be the same. It will not and cannot sound any different from the originals (for those who need a clue about digital audio).
- Some might debate whether they are as sturdy as the original releases, hard to say but not likely enough to matter. They are still pressed CDs.
- The printing on the discs and inserts probably won't always be quite as nice.
- The main difference is that they are completely uncollectible - a commodity product. Little resale value. If you do resell them, you might make it clear it's a BMG release.
But none of that will matter for most people, since reselling CDs isn't an issue. And singles and imports are more the issue on collectibles, anyway.
Also, for older albums make sure there isn't a better version around - often the back catalog stuff has bonus tracks, remastered, etc. for some artists.

Thanks for the post.

if you wanted to hear the music, couldn't you just download them and burn them to a cd?

With standard shipping, there is no tracking number and the delivery time is 2 to 4 weeks.
I placed an order on the 22nd of Oct and haven't received mine either. I want to know why it takes so long and also why it costs me $2.79 per CD for it.

I think the free shipping takes 10-14 days minimum.
Hopefully it'll be there soon...
It also concerns me that I got no confirmation.
