I haven't seen this topic pop up here yet, so I figure I will mention it.

Go to yourmusic.com and you can get CDs for as low as $4.99/per disc, including SACDs. Check out this thread at stevehoffman.tv.

From all indications, yourmusic.com is operated by BMG Music Service.

OK. I read the thread. I deleted my cookies and cache (which is a pain, b/c now I have to log in and re-enter passwords everywhere - but hey, for another $1 a CD off, I'm there), and I STILL get the $5.99/CD offer, not the $4.99 offer.

Did I miss something??

So these will have the annoying "Manufactured by BMG Music under License" logos all over the artwork and disc?

According to the other forum, some do, some don't - depends on timing/sourcing of inventory, apparently.

I'm not getting the $4.99 price either - it's $5.99 per disc.



Careful man! There's a beverage here!

$5.99 is still pretty good. I think I'll buy some. I don't care too much about the covers anyway.

Check page 4 of the stevehoffman.tv thread. You can write Customer Service and have them "reinstate" your $4.99 status.

Regarding the "Manufactured by BMG Music under License" line, it's never all over the cover. It's only printed along the barcode on the back and in tiny prints on the CD, along with a BMG-specific catalog number. And on many CDs I've purchased from BMG Music Service, there is no "Manufactured by BMG Music under License" printed anywhere.

I used to be a member of their other service... what was it called... anyway, I was happy with those CDs, but the shipping was a ripoff. This is a better deal.

Is there any way of knowing which are the SACD?

UGH, nevermind. It appears that Canadians are not privy to becoming members. Well, as Groucho Marx said I would never become a member of a club that would have me as a member.



"Oh Mikey do you think I even know what the hell they are talking about half the time? I dont know whether they are talking about how hard it is to be adopted or how their father never shows them love. All I do man, is I wrinkle my eyebrows, stare at their lips and somehow I turn out to be some big sweetie." - Trent Walker (Swingers - 1996)

Yes, go to Search. Search for "SACD" under album title, and you should see 2 pages of SACD titles.

Thanks, Danny, for the tip.

The site is a little cumbersome to navigate at first (searching one way yields a LOT more on-target choices than another, for example), but there are some terrific deals here, including some box sets as well as SACDs.
