jeff and concern-ed loopers remember the inceredible 1/3 price CD's got my entire 10 cd order for $53 and change . . . some pretty esoteric stuff, too ranging from Inlakesh (didgeridu trance group) to Dino Saluzzi on ECM and Squarepusher's rotted note . . . (yeah, Kim--only one guy--I know) all seem to be the original manufacturor's discs (and I have one or two of them from the library for comparison) so, happy endings for all and the threat to the recording industry is not the MPEG after all, right . . . BUT WAIT . . . i go back to the site with a list of about 25 things or so I want to get . . . my bookmark comes up as a screen displaying "no SKU available" or something to that effect i click on the music box and about a dozen Cds appear--Backstreet Boys, Jamiroquai and that ilk . . . at $8.95 apiece (and WAY overpriced at that) and that is it--apparently their entire music selection--I punched Miles Davis in to the search box that formerly gave me a page of $4.95 selections and "no match found" the golden goose is dead--undoubtedly killed by Tower, CDNow and everyone else who want to make an honest 200% markup on those little silver frisbees probably just as well--I'd never make my own noise with all these $5 Cds flowing in ;) drone on~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tom Lambrecht hideo@concentric.net -----Original Message----- From: Collins <collinsclan@sprintmail.com> To: Tom Lambrecht <hideo@concentric.net> Date: Tuesday, June 22, 1999 10:01 PM Subject: Re: about the $4.95 Cd's >Tom, > >Did you get the CD's yet?
