Okay, you have super-sized Sony who owns a music distribution company called BMG Music. This is supposedly a large company, right? I mean, think about it. It’s owned by Sony. Wow, okay, now besides the fact that they lack a large amount of music that they should have (I can literally list about 15 bands they don’t have music from including Breaking Benjamin and Muse, and there are other bands that they do have, but only have their oldest albums, and these include Cold and Jimmy Eat World), this large music service sends (gasp) the wrong CD’s in the mail!? I got someone else’s order in the mail yesterday — talk about disappointment. Instead of the Coldplay (Parachutes) and Matchbox Twenty CD’s I ordered, I found The Game and two John Mayer CD’s in the package. What is going on? I had to email them and tell them to send me a shipping label so that I could send the CD’s back at no cost to me, but I am frustrated that it will be possibly two more weeks before I get my CD’s. I hope this mistake doesn’t occur often. I like their deals, but if it takes a month to get my CD’s, I may as well stop at my local retail store and pick the music up there. Good grief, I hope this doesn’t happen again. Anyone recommend any other music service similar to BMG’s but better?
Update: after contacting BMG Music, they said that the CD’s I ordered are on the way and that I can keep the CD’s that were accidentally sent to me at no extra charge. Okay, great, but… What do I do with three unopened CD’s that I don’t want to listen to? I don’t like John Mayer or The Game — is there somewhere I can trade these CD’s for other ones, or perhaps resell them somehow?
Uhhhh, iTunes? Except you don’t get a CD…

When I buy a whole album, I prefer to have it in a physical format. I can always copy it to my computer. If my computer crashes or something, though, nothing can be done about the music that’s already on my hard drive. In addition, I like to be able to hold it in my hand and say “I own this CD.” Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

But it makes it look like you made a copy. I want the real thing. ;)

“I may as well stop at my local retail store and pick the music up there”
That sounds like a good idea…

First of all, you’re bound to get bent over the table and reamed in the ass after ordering shitty music like that. Second of all, I’ll be happy to take that CD by The Game off your hands at no extra charge. ;)

You can’t complain about his music and then mention you want The Game’s CD. :-P
I was going to say I found the one site I was after, but it’s a division of BMG, so yeah. www.yourmusic.com/
