OK, from what I read the deal is you buy at least one per month.

You build a music Que and they ship you a CD each month and charge you 5.99. If there is nothing in your Que you get charged anyway (be careful)

You can also buy anytime you want once you are a member.

As for legit, it seems to be a part of BMG just like DV2 is a new part of columbia house.

What do you guys think. I am on the verge of signing up.

[scanman20]

Why is this better than BMG?

[potnoodlez]

It's not that good of a deal. I did a search and it appears as if their catalogue is indenticle to BMG's. I would rather stick with BMG and get more cds for the least amount of money as possible.

Also, not all cd's are $5.99. Multi-disc sets are more money.

Actually, after further inspection I think I may sign up for this. The Pantera and STP CD/DVD sets are only $5.99 a piece. They are more money on BMG or it takes 2 vouchers to get them for free plus shipping.

You can cancel anytime which is a plus.

[speedyray]

Well, I like this idea better than BMG, because I can order just one and get a decent deal - anytime - same way I (and many others) prefer DV2 to the hassle of columbia house. The club is only a good deal to sign up, after that I never felt it was that great.

About the cheapest I ever got after joining was buy 1 get 3 free and that worked out to around 7+ a CD. Even signing up is just about 50-75 cents a disc cheaper. I was a member forever, still am about a decade now, so i usually get the best offers. This beats that. I easily average at least a CD a month that I buy anyways. I guess if there is not a lot of music you want it is not a good deal.

Its not going to set the world on fire, but it is a convienient and decent deal IMHO.

[dtcarson]

That's a neat idea. Perhaps on average the BMG/CH deals are slightly better, but the S/H on the later purchases probably hurt the average. Plus if you don't want 5 or 7 or 13 CD's at once, this is a good way to 'ration' your purchases so you can enjoy each one.
But they fall down [for me] in one regard: "No matter what type of music you're looking for, you're guaranteed to find it at yourmusic.com. " Well, six of the 8 bands I just entered, had no results. Granted, they are somewhat esoteric bands, but still.

I wonder if their CD's are just like the ones you'd get at the store. Last time I was with BMG [admittedly years ago], they were 'no-frills', no lyrics, no insert, and it said 'BMG Music CLub' instead of a UPC.

[potnoodlez]

I would say this site would be a good alternative to Columbia House because of their commitments, but you are only committed to buy one cd for BMG so that is the better deal for someone like me.

It's cheaper to do BMG even with their shipping costs. It averages about $4 a cd if you get 12 for 1 (11 free & 1 reg price) plus buy 1 get 3 free.

BMG's cds are just like the ones in store besides the BMG barcode.

[Hollowgen]

Yeah, it is BMG. (Copyright ©2004 BMG Direct, Inc. All Rights Reserved. )

In the long run, the great "deal(s)" can't possibly be any better than their normal club. I'll just stick to my average of $5 per cd with my frequent memberships to BMG, especially considering they have exactly the same stuff.

[creekdipper]

Several ways this can be a good deal:

(1) Box set prices are very reasonable considering the free shipping (BMG base prices for these are cheaper...UNTIL you add the shipping).

(2) Some multi-disc CD/DVD sets are cheaper this way. For instance, BMG and Columbia will usually count them as 2 selections on enrollment packages and they charge more for them (usually $24.98 and up) if you're thinking of buying them as your obligation/fulfillment CD's. I plan to get CD/DVD sets from Indigo Girls, Tom Petty, Tori Amos, and others. Maybe we should start a thread listing these "better deal" multi-disc CD's which are only $5.99.

(3) As others have mentioned, it's really handy to simply order one CD for $5.99 instead of waiting to enroll again and loading up. Personally, I can always select CD's which can be resold to balance the CD's I actually want to add to my collection. However, not everyone has outlets for resale, and they don't want to order a bunch of CD's just to get the few they really want at the time. Even I have times when a friend is looking for a particular CD or I want to buy a present for someone, etc....or maybe I just have a hankering for a CD (maybe need one to make a compilation, etc.) and don't want to wait until the next Buy 1 get 3 free sale. Heck, if you saw some of these newer CD's at Circuit City for $5.99 TOTAL price, wouldn't you pick them up??

In conclusion, just as with any CD/DVD club deal, this can work to your advantage if you play it smart. Jut be sure to put some CD's in your queue to avoid the monthly charge with no CD. I plan to join as soon as I finish this post...which is right now.

[IamHydrogen1]

I agree, this is a good deal.

I did notice that Jeff Buckley, Neil Young and Tori Amos all had DVD/CD sets available for $5.99. Also, many of the reissued Bob Dylan CDs are listed, which are SACD hybrid format.

[Hollowgen]

curious... why did this music club thread get moved to "dvd clubs" ?

[bigjim25]

I took the plunge and ordered several $5.99 titles with bonus DVDs
Poison: Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986-1996 (w/DVD)
Ice Cube: Greatest Hits (w/DVD)
Pat Benatar: Best Shots (w/DVD)
Rob Zombie: Past, Present & Future (w/DVD)
Various Artists: Girls Gone Wild Music Vol. 1 (1 CD/ 1 Bonus DVD)
Stone Temple Pilots: Thank You (1CD/1DVD)
Janet Jackson: All For You (Limited Edition w/DVD)
Nickelback: Silver Side Up (w/DVD)

Plus I ordered some box sets, (a few of which are OOP*)
Marty Robbins: The Essential Marty Robbins 1951-1982 $11.98*
Hank Williams, Jr.: Living Proof-The MGM Recordings $17.97*
Merle Haggard: Down Every Road $23.96
Don Williams: Anthology $11.98
Conway Twitty: Collection $23.96
Elvis Presley: From Nashville To Memphis - The Essential 60's Remasters I $29.95
Elvis Presley: Elvis The King Of Rock 'N' Roll-The Complete 50's Masters $29.95
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Lynyrd Skynyrd $17.97
Jimmy Buffett: Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads $23.96
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble: S.R.V. (3 CD/ 1 DVD) $17.97
ABBA: Gold (Deluxe Sound & Vision) (2 Cd/1 DVD) $11.98
Bob Marley & The Wailers: Legend (Deluxe Sound & Vision) (2 CD/1 DVD) $11.98
Kansas: Sail On - The 30th Anniversary Collection 1974-2004 (2 CD/1 DVD) $11.98
Waylon Jennings: RCA Country Legends-Waylon Jennings $11.98
Waylon Jennings: Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line: The RCA Years $11.98*

I buy mostly box sets so I think these are good deals. Most of the ones I got aren't in Columbia House and s/h is too high on sets

[creekdipper]

Thanks for the heads up on the box sets and CD/DVD sets (I had totally forgotten about the Jeff Buckley, for instance...need to do better searching on the website).

[LurkerDan]

curious... why did this music club thread get moved to "dvd clubs" ?
I'm wondering the same thing...

[potnoodlez]

I am going to order STP, Poison, and Pantera's cd/dvd sets. Anyone know of any other good rock cd/dvd sets?

[atlantamoi]

Do you know if a box set or any disc priced higher than $5.99 can be used as the automatic monthly shipment?

[fryinpan1]

I am going to order STP, Poison, and Pantera's cd/dvd sets. Anyone know of any other good rock cd/dvd sets?

Nickelback: Silver Side Up (w/Live at Home DVD)
Rob Zombie - Past, Present, & Future (Bonus DVD)
The Used - Maybe Memories

[bigjim25]

No only $5.99 titles
Anyone know of any other good rock cd/dvd sets?
Change the search feature from ARTIST to ALBUM and then enter DVD. There's 90+ to choose from.

[jetflair]

Signing up...thanks.

[namja]

Sorry for moving this to the DVD Clubs Forum (now moved back to the Hot Deals Forum). We will keep the CD clubs threads in the Hot Deals Forum. Yeah, there's even a sticky about the CH and BMG CD clubs in this thread:

[alanstar@erols.com]

Thanks for letting me know about this club; as others mentioned, there are some decent deals to be had on box sets and CD/DVD combos. I ordered the Faces box ($24), and Elton John's SACD 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' ($12). And in queue is a Crowded House collection (CD + DVD for $6).

Also, the Stevie Ray Vaughn collection is a great deal! (3CD + 1DVD for $18). Too bad I already own it....

[GatorDeb]

Why is Evanescence nowhere to be found?

Not on Napster, not on Rhapsody, not on iTunes, not on this, not carried by my library.

Jeeze.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I signed up and filled up my queue for 6 months. Was about to order from my BMG account but this is cheaper.

[GatorDeb]

If you put DVD in the search box and search by album titles, you can see all the CD/DVDs combos they have (97).

[Xbox69]

I got confirmation on my 1st CD today. It was shipped yesterday 12/28. Although it did say on the site that most in stock items are shipped within 72 hours of "your music date". Mine is the 23rd of each month. There may have a been just a slight delay with the holiday.

[Stormfront13]

Ok, I am a little slow on this one but how can I get to DV2?

[DeltaSigChi4]

I'm convinced - thanks a bunch to the OP and all the others who added their 2 cents. Great input ... I'm glad I ran across this thread.

I added to my queue:

The Used
Maybe Memories (w/DVD)

P.O.D.
Satellite (Limited Edition-1 CD/1 DVD)

The Cardigans
Long Gone Before Daylight (1 CD/1 DVD)

When I did the search for albums w/ dvds, only 94 albums came up.

[YoJimbo]

Could somebody please post when they receive their first CD? I am curious about 2 things:

1. Is it normal CD packaging, with case and booklet, or is it shipped like Netflix?

2. Are the CD's of good quality, or are they inferior copies? (I'm not sure how this can be determined but I'll ask anyways)!

TIA

the club is a division of BMG. they are the same cds you'd get anywhere else, with the exception of a barcode. this isn't a cd-rental club, so they wouldn't come like netflix.

[shaka]

Thanks, I ordered a bunch of Yo Yo Ma classicals and some cds with dvd. Great deal at $5.99 each.

[GatorDeb]

I put the POD DVD/CD on my queue and got an email that it was out of stock and it would not be delivered and my CC not charged this month.

I posted this link in the DVD Bargains thread but here it is in case people didn't see it there. If you sign up thru this link CDs are $4.99. http://a.chtah.com/a/hBBnRfiAT9DbEAT9NMMAEY28iSa/ym1

Do you not see the $4.99 price until AFTER you sign up? And is that a permanent price? When I click the link I see the normal $5.99 page.

[jpdude]

hey, someone gave us the finger....and it wasn't a bad thing this time.....cool! ;)

It shows 4.99 when I click the link.

[Liquid Death]

I ordered a few CDs last week and they came yesterday (except one, which was backordered). Very fast. $5 instead of $6 would've been better, though, but no big deal.

[jpdude]

my first orders just shipped today...so i should have them soon :)

[gfoots]

Everything I ordered was on backorder.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I just cancelled my subscription and then started a new one with the $4.99 link. That $1 makes a bit of a difference especially when adding tax.

[reverie]

Just signed up for the $4.99 deal, thanks a lot for posting this! Granted, my fiancee might be a little ticked at me spending more money. They don't seem to have a lot I'd want anyway, at a quick glimpse, I'll be quitting in about 6-8 months.

[FrozenMetalHead]

Just received an email saying the Sheryl Crow "Greatest Hits" cd would not be available on the current shipping date my queue had set (which was April 4). I moved it up to the top of my queue (Feb 4), and it said it would not be available on that shipping date either. I went ahead and purchased it just to get it. Thought I'd share to let you know:

1) If you want to get a CD through this club (and price), go ahead and build up your queue so you'll be notified if they will no longer carry that CD.

2) If you're interested in the Sheryl Crow "Greatest Hits" (not sure about her other discs) go ahead and buy it now.


On another note, it's not too big of a deal, but I'd like to be able to:

a) let a multi-disc set count as my obligated monthly purchase

and / or

b) be able to create a wishlist of multi-disc sets that I can move to the cart whenever I'm ready to buy.

[reverie]

I was also thinking how it'd be nice if they had a wishlist for thing you want to buy down the road. Ah well..

[atlantamoi]

It shows 4.99 when I click the link.

I give up. I cleared out all my cookies and tried again... nothing but $5.99 every time I try this link and also one from Fatwallet.

[potnoodlez]

That is so odd. It shows up $4.99 everytime I click on it. I was also able to sign up for $4.99.

[Tscott]

I was also thinking how it'd be nice if they had a wishlist for thing you want to buy down the road. Ah well..I just signed up this weekend and I'm essentally using my music queue for a wish list. I currently have 33 discs queued, which takes me to October of 2007, but I'm guessing there's no way all those discs will be waiting there so long. It's very easy to check move to cart and order a few every now and then.

BTW, if there are any other They Might Be Giants fans that have been putting off getting the two disc 'Dial-A-Song: 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants' because 30 bucks was too much to pay for mostly songs you already own, they've got it here for only $9.98!

[Sweet Baby James]

I give up. I cleared out all my cookies and tried again... nothing but $5.99 every time I try this link and also one from Fatwallet.
It was showing up at $4.99 all weekend for me, but now that I'm ready to join, it keeps coming up at $5.99.:mad:Is it still coming up for $4.99 for anyone? Maybe they fixed their site over the weekend and killed the $4.99 deal.

Still $4.99 for me.

linky showing up as $5.99 here. Geez. Just my luck. Now that I come into work and try the link it's back to $5.99. Urgh.

The link shows $5.99 for me now, but I signed up under $4.99 and my account still has that pricing.

[iggystar]

Thanks Val, got in at the $4.99 contract. Great! :)

[Stormfront13]

Shows up as 5.99 for me as well. Anyone still able to pull up the 4.99 deal?

[Spaceknight]

Do we know the context of that 4.99 deal?
Maybe the deal isn't dead but the referral simply link stopped working. Is there any information to help find similar links? Where did the original link come from?

[alanstar@erols.com]

You can search for albums via "dvd" once again - 110 titles came up! (A good portion of them are now $9.98, but some are still $4.99....)

[BobDole42]

i searched for sacds (using SACD as album title) and only came up with three results... are there more sacds, and if so, how do i find them?
thanks!

[Decker]

Diana Krall "The Girl In The Other Room" sems to be the first DualDisc available. Also $4.99. I hope more become available soon.

[cynthia]

I'm glad I loaded up my queue before they raised the prices on nearly everything.

[Rogue588]

I'm glad I loaded up my queue before they raised the prices on nearly everything.Tell me about it. I'm glad they didn't try charging me twice as much for Stone Temple Pilot's CD/DVD combo that was last month's selection.i searched for sacds (using SACD as album title) and only came up with three results... are there more sacds, and if so, how do i find them?Three? I got 32 (http://www.yourmusic.com/search/index.html?search_text=sacd&order_by=default&limit=15&do_search=1&search_type=albums&offset=0).Diana Krall "The Girl In The Other Room" sems to be the first DualDisc available. Also $4.99. I hope more become available soon.Yeah, i've seen a couple at Costco that I wouldn't mind getting. But i'd rather pay $4.99 than $12.99.

[grrrah]

I did a search and it appears as if their catalogue is indenticle to BMG's.

I was slightly interested until I got to this.

IMO, BMG and CH selection sucks arse.

(I usually buy music I can't ehar on the radio)

[MrE]

The PRICES don't suck. I don't find a lot that I want, but at $4.99 a pop, I get to finally pick up stuff I've put off buying for years. Great price for sampling new releases too.

[BobDole42]

i searched for "sacd" under album title 5 times, and got 5 different results, ranging from 22-33... huh...

[Turd Ferguson]

Try searching for "(space)sacd" under album title. That seems to do the trick.

[Hollowgen]

I was slightly interested until I got to this.

IMO, BMG and CH selection sucks arse.

(I usually buy music I can't ehar on the radio)

yourmusic.com = bmg

it's the same company, yes.

[YoJimbo]

... and if you put a space in front AND in back of "sacd", and select "album title", you'll get 45 matches. Go figure.

Hope you like Bob Dylan and Elton John; they seem to account for more than half the titles.

[alhall]

I decided to put a lot of Dylan in my queue that I already have on Vinyl but would gladly buy on CD @ $5 each and they keep notifying me that the titles have sold out. Frustrating!! Had I known I would have just bought them and put something else into the queue. I guess that Dylan is a popular buy for new members:

Sorry, Bob Dylan: Bringing It All Back Home is no longer available.

Sorry, Bob Dylan: Blood On The Tracks is no longer available.

Sorry, Bob Dylan: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is no longer available.

Sorry, Bob Dylan: Nashville Skyline is no longer available.
Thank you, we have updated your Music Queue.

[dtcarson]

I used another email address, when I tried to restart with the same one, it said 'This email is already on an account', but i also tried mere seconds after cancelling.
When cancelling it says 'If you want to come back, just email us' so it seems like they keep it in the system, so it looks like it's 'one account per email address'.
All the other information was the same--ship to, bill to, credit card number, etc.

So, if you're having any problems with the link, get rid of the cookies!

[MasterofDVD]

I signed up with the 4.99 deal the other night and I'm going to give it a shot for some time. There aren't many CDs I want so this is a great plan for me.

Ditto here. Radio hasn't impressed me in years, so I haven't heard a lot of new music, but have been listening to my MP3 catalog. But I've been listening to satellite radio a lot, and have gotten interested in a lot of old stuff I missed out the first time. For 4.99, it's worth a shot, if I don't like it, most everything can be sold on Half.com or traded for at least that much credit.
We got our first CD yesterday. Securely packaged, and the only thing id'ing it as 'BMG' was some fine print text on the disk itself saying 'Manufactured for BMG music service under license.' Liner notes, UPC, case, everything else looked just like the Best Buy version.
The only bad thing is, now we have to wait a month before our next title. I know we can just buy them straight out as well, but that could be dangerous. Hmm, maybe if they had an every-two-weeks option.....

[atlantamoi]

Do you ever think that maybe all the "people" on this planet are actually aliens or monkeys, but you see them as humans? Like, behind you and out of your vision, every human is really a monkey.

That's what I feel like reading this thread. I WANT that damn $4.99 price!

:)

the cameras are well hidden, but wait for someone to jump out and tell you you've been punked.

If 5.99 isn't a huge jump, you could go ahead and join, then cancel/rejoin when/if the 4.99 comes back around.

That's true. But I mainly want to join for box sets... would save some dough over the long run. For single discs I'll just stay with BMG and quit/rejoin.

[dtcarson]

Does the 4.99 link affect the price of box sets? Or do you mean you'd join, mainly to use the monthly disk as a way to get access to the >4.99 box sets?

[BudSeriously]

Does the 4.99 link affect the price of box sets? Or do you mean you'd join, mainly to use the monthly disk as a way to get access to the >4.99 box sets?
You pay 4.99 or 5.99 per disc per box set so yeah it does affect the price.

[dtcarson]

Didn't know that. I did see that the box sets were more, and couldn't be put in your queue, but I didn't know your queue price affected the box sets. Definitely a bargain now.

[MasterofDVD]

My first CD shipped yesterday. I'm curious to see how long it takes to get my first shipment.

I had a hard time figuring out what CD to get first. I was bummed they didn't have any Techno so I was searching for 80s music. Then I found it.....techno remixes of 80s songs. Jackpot! :)

I got my first 4.99 CD today. It shipped on Saturday so I was very pleased with how fast it got here. :)

[fliggil]

I got my first CD yesterday and it was shipped I think the 17th (last Thurs), very satisfied, will definately be sticking with this.

[SWR 1]

I have been trying to get in on the 4.99 deal since the beginning of February with no luck at all. I try almost everyday and it always comes up 5.99 for me. I do not understand how some people have been able to get the links to work. Do the links become valid only at certain times of day? It seems as if there is no rhyme or reason to when the links work and when they don't work.

[hondo21]

Sure there is. They work when I don't try them, and they don't work when I do. Same boat here. I've never seen anything but $5.99 come up on that page.

[dtcarson]

My 'order date' was 3/16, they shipped it 3/17, I got it 3/21, I believe. Not bad at all.

The last couple times the 4.99 link worked, it was *very briefly*. I'm not sure if those are supposed to be 'private links' that got shared, or what, but the one I used lasted maybe 12 hours.

o-t: SWR: Is your sig quote from 5000 Fingers of Dr T? If so, I don't think I've ever seen that film quoted before :) That's a bizarre little movie.

Were you just trying the link to see if it works, or do you need to use the link everytime you order? I mean if you are lucky enough to get the link to work once, the 4.99 is good for as long as you have an account, right?

My signature is a quote from the movie Easy Money. I think it is pretty cool that there is another movie that has the same quote. You are referring to 5000 fingers of Dr. T the 1950's Seuss movie, right? I haven't seen that movie in years. Great movie!

[Sweet Baby James]

I mean if you are lucky enough to get the link to work once, the 4.99 is good for as long as you have an account, right?


Correct.:)

[dtcarson]

Yes, once you use the link, and set up a new account via that link, all future orders should be 4.99. Every single-disk release I look for now says 4.99 instead of 5.99, as long as I'm logged in, whether it's in my queue or my cart.
A day or so after I did sign up with that link, I logged out and cleared cookies to see if it still worked--it didn't. But once I logged back in, I had my price of 4.99.

Yep, the Dr Seuss film. Very surreal. I don't know if the plumber guy said that exact quote, but I'm sure he said something similar.

[Double Down]

I have a quick question.

I just signed up for this service. I saw where it says that if the 1st CD in your queue is unavailable, they send you the 2nd. If they 2nd isn't available, they send you the 3rd. If the 3rd isn't available, they don't send you anything and you aren't charged that month.

My question is, what happens if you only have 2 CDs in your queue and neither are available? Do they send you an e-mail warning you to add something to your queue, or do they just charge you? It's not our fault if both CDs are out of stock, and we certainly have no way to know that information. I sent them an e-mail asking this question, but they haven't responded.

[dtcarson]

I believe someone posted and said if your queue is small, and nothing is in stock, you will neither be sent a disk, nor be charged that month.

[BudSeriously]

That's correct. When I joined I put about 3-4 SACDS in my queue. They were all out of stock come shipment time and I was not charged for that month.

[SWR 1]

Anyone have any luck with $4.99 link again?

[SFranke]

Can we please not have new requests every three days for a $4.99 link? When it comes back, it will be posted, and you'll just have to act fast if you want in on the deal.

[SWR 1]

Can we please not have new requests every three days for a $4.99 link? When it comes back, it will be posted, and you'll just have to act fast if you want in on the deal.


Is every 4 days alright?
I am just joking. Sometimes people will forget to post things unless the thread is bumped or "fresh". I will have to just be patient I guess.

[SFranke]

If you want, I could order some $4.99 CDs for you and have them shipped to your address if you cover the costs involved.

[The Iron Chef]

Has anyone ordered The Door 7 disc box set from here? Is the the 24-bit version? I seem to recall reading where the 24 bit version was out of print and the re-release didn't wasn't 24 bit. I could be wrong, but just wanted to make sure before I order it. Thanks for any info!

[kajs]

The dream is dead for those of us who got in on the $4.99 deal:

Starting on May 13, 2005, we will be increasing the monthly fee and CD prices at yourmusic.com to $5.99.

If you do not wish to continue your subscription at the $5.99 price, you are free to cancel at any time by accessing your account.

We hope you'll continue to enjoy your subscription and take advantage of our still low price of only $5.99 with free shipping and handling.

Sincerely,
Yourmusic.com

[kvrdave]

I've been doing this for a month or two at $5.99 and it is easily the best deal going. I can live with $5.99.

[G-Rex]

Yeah...I just got the same e-mail. I think it's kinda sh*tty. $5.99 is still not bad, but I guess I'll go ahead and buy a bunch at the $4.99 price, then cancel.

[potnoodlez]

I can live with the $5.99 deal but I am disappointed that they are raising it on us. Maybe they will change their mind if a bunch of us voices our displeasure with them.

[Hollowgen]

yeah, no thanks. i'd rather stick with regular bmg. i get all my cds for well under $6 that way. what a bunch of lameasses.

[Decker]

This is disappointing news. At least I'm free to cancel anytime; I'm sure a lot of people will. Time to get the multi-sets now.

[auto]

Lame. Time to buy whats in your queue and cancel.

What sucks is they will make huge $$$ in the next month while we all buy tons of $4.99 CDs. Looks like a win-win situation for them. Best we can do is all cancel. Their subscriptions go way down and we can re-join at any time if we feel like it.

Bastards.

[DeltaSigChi4]

yeah, no thanks. i'd rather stick with regular bmg. i get all my cds for well under $6 that way. what a bunch of lameasses.

Explain your math if you may .... maybe I'm doing something wrong with the regular club ... I haven't received the 5-to-6$ email notification.

[SFranke]

$2.79 [shipping] * 15 CDs [using Buy One Get Three promotion] + .9 * $17.95 [10% Off First Purchase] = $58.01 for 15 CDs = $3.87 per CD before taxes.

[Hollowgen]

$2.79 [shipping] * 15 CDs [using Buy One Get Three promotion] + .9 * $17.95 [10% Off First Purchase] = $58.01 for 15 CDs = $3.87 per CD before taxes.

thank you. and you can even get lower prices than that when using refer-a-friend (yourself), free music points, free cds, and the join/rejoin technique.

and hey, DeltaSigChi4: there are at least 2 active threads at the dvdtalk forum discussing in what seems to be an endless discussion. check them out, and then you can stop waiting for the special e-mail with the good price alert :)

[dtcarson]

While I certainly prefer 4.99 to 5.99, I wonder if the 4.99 link was meant to be somewhat limited, and they figured it got FW'ed, so rather than saying "Sorry, that link was private" after people subbed, they just said, Okay, no more 4.99 for anybody to make it easier for them [a little more sensible to the consumer.]

[MrE]

$4.99 was probably a promotional offer to get people signed. I suspect they always planned to raise prices later. Even so, yourmusic is great if you want to buy 1 or 2 CDs at a time. There's no waiting for B1G3 or other offers or hassling with joining/rejoining.

[dtcarson]

And while the average cost if you max out the club is perhaps lower, some of the intermediate purchases can 'feel' more expensive.
Plus, signing up and getting 10-15 CD's at a time, then getting 3 or 4 at your fulfillment, is almost overkill. I always have trouble finding 15 things I want all at once.
5.99 with no tax and free shipping is still a bargain.

[SFranke]

thank you. and you can even get lower prices than that when using refer-a-friend (yourself), free music points, free cds, and the join/rejoin technique.

Oh yes, referring yourself. I love that technique.

For the uninitiated:

$2.79 [shipping] * 20 CDs [using Buy One Get Three promotion and Refer-a-Friend] + .9 * $17.95 [10% Off First Purchase] = $71.96 for 20 CDs = $3.60 per CD before taxes [you save .27 per disc on the average]. And after the eighth referral you get a $2.79 CD, and every ninth referral after that.

[auto]

So, what is everybody going to pick up in the next month?

[bboisvert]

Cancelled yesterday.

I was probably going to cancel anyway (I was running out of things that interested me), but I figure that cancelling on the day I receive the e-mail about the price increase would send a message. :)

[Tscott]

**Resisting the temptation to blow my tax refund on my queue**

For the BMG deal, is there a code or something to get the "Buy One Get Three promotion" in your calucaltions or do you have to sit and wait for the offer to come around once or twice a year once you're a member?

[FrozenMetalHead]

Oh yes, referring yourself. I love that technique.

For the uninitiated:

$2.79 [shipping] * 20 CDs [using Buy One Get Three promotion and Refer-a-Friend] + .9 * $17.95 [10% Off First Purchase] = $71.96 for 20 CDs = $3.60 per CD before taxes [you save .27 per disc on the average]. And after the eighth referral you get a $2.79 CD, and every ninth referral after that.


So what are your thoughts about the Box Set prices on YourMusic.com - it seems to me that those are much better bargains there than at BMG (for the most part).

[kajs]

Well, I think I finally stopped buying...after picking up 20 CDs in the last day I've saved $20 from the new price, those dollars add up.

[Hollowgen]

So what are your thoughts about the Box Set prices on YourMusic.com - it seems to me that those are much better bargains there than at BMG (for the most part).

see the thread about the clubs. with bmg, you can order box sets using your free selections. so at $2.79(shipping)/cd, that's a great deal still. better than $4.99 even.

the only real problem is the effort it takes to maximize your savings with bmg. but if you're like me, and want the best deal possible, it's worth the efforts.

[reverie]

Just thought I'd bring this to the top once more the remind people that the price increase is this Friday.

I've already put a big order of all the box sets and a few cds I wanted.. a couple more on my list I'm debating on right now.. then time to cancel.

[MrE]

:rimshot: Bump to add that yourmusic is putting out new stuff all the time. A buddy of mine who checked the site when it first started and called it too limited then, now has a year of CDs in his ($5.99) queue. With the imminent price increase, my queue is much shorter.

[Decker]

Big Warning!!!!!
They just cleared out my music queue! I had a lot of things that had since bumped in price (CD/DVD sets) and they totally cleared me out. This is going to really suck for some who will be charged for having an empty queue. I'm so not happy with them right now.

[dtcarson]

WHOA!
They cleared mine out as well! WTF?
That's pretty sneaky.
" Your Music Queue is empty! You have 6 days until your next ship date of 05/16/05. Please add CDs to your Music Queue right away. If you leave your Music Queue empty, we will not be able to send you a CD this month."

No email or anything.
Maybe they had to 'purge' it to fix the pricing, but they need to tell people!
[Although my price still says 4.99.]

Okay, I'm adding a title, but it's not showing up in the queue....Nothing's taking, and i don't want to add crap I don't want just to fill up the queue..

[Tscott]

My guess is it's a glitch with the database and will be fixed. I've currently got 3 items in my queue when I should have about 34- but the ones listed are numbered 8, 23 and 28 just like they were when my queue is full.

The prices are good but I keep seeing weird things with the site. A week or so ago I saw they were listing the last item in my queue as "shipping next" instead of the first. It wasn't close to my ship date so I wasn't too worried and it was fixed in a day or two.

Also the first monthly email I ever got from them said I had 0 items in my queue, but when I checked the site everything was still there. There's been other oddities too, but so far they haven't messed up an actual order for me.

Anyway, I've been ordering 3 or 4 CDs at a time the last couple weeks and that's going to come to a halt on Thursday. I still haven't decided if I want to stay a member- there are still some good deals to be found at $5.99, but...

[SkullOrchard]

Yeah, it's probably a glitch in their system, this happened once before. I hope they get it fixed quickly, time is running out for $4.99 CDs.

[hondo21]

This problem is bigger than the queue being emptied. I had about 7 or 8 titles in there which are now gone. But more significantly, now I CAN'T FIND ANY OF THEM ON THE SITE. Doing some searches I find that lots of CDs aren't coming up anymore - CDs that did show up yesterday.

I hope this is a temporary glitch. Meanwhile, Thursday 5/12 is my ship date. They'd better fix it fast.

By the way, I'm signed up in the $5.99 plan. Got tired of waiting for $4.99, and then the decided to end those anyway.

[Tscott]

Looks like the problem is fixed. All 34 items are back in place in my queue.

[hondo21]

Yep. Back to normal on mine too. Doesn't instill a lot of confidence, does it?

[mookiemeister]

I just bought a CD from them and they end up sending me a different CD. The package contains 2 receipts... one with my name on it and another one with someone else who ordered that CD. I contacted yourmusic.com and they are shipping me a replacement.

[kvrdave]

I agree. I can never find enough at BMG to make it worth it.

[Sweet Baby James]

Bump-last chance to place an order for $4.99. The club changes to the $5.99 policy on May 13.:(

[sailor_moon]

Bump-last chance to place an order for $4.99. The club changes to the $5.99 policy on May 13.:(

Yeah, I got that email. Makes me want to cancel the whole thing. Honestly though, I've got pretty much everything I want from them and they haven't added anything new that I wanted in a long time.

[Darknite39]

Thank goodness I saw this thread--I just bought the last 10 CDs in my basket. : )

Now it's time to cancel my membership.

[reverie]

Still $4.99 for the time being.. I don't know if it'll change over during the course of the day, or if this is the last complete day of $4.99 cds.

I just went ahead and ordered the last of my for-sure buys off my list after debating spending that much at once. Only have three more on my list, and two of them I'll probably land up not getting, and the third I'll figure out next week if I want to spend $5.99 on it at that time (the movie comes out, so I'll see if the soundtrack is worth it).

[jetflair]

I don't see why everyone's so upset about the price increase....that's still the least you will ever pay for a new CD without joininig BMG.

[Tscott]

I don't see why everyone's so upset about the price increase....that's still the least you will ever pay for a new CD without joininig BMG.Sure, NOW it's the least I will pay.... ;)

I'm still a member and have about 20 CDs in my queue, I'm just going to buy a little slower now. I had over 80 queued before I found out about the price increase- many "must have's" were purchased in groups of 4 or 5 in the past month, and many more impulse additions to my queue were removed. Some items I might have taken a chance with at 4.99 are somehow a little less appealing at 5.99 (I guess I'll never hear Mandy Moore's take on XTC, Joni Mitchell and Todd Rundgren songs from her covers album...*sigh*). On the other hand this site's great if you want to take a chance on some great artists you may have missed the first time around (The Clash, Jethro Tull, Flaming Lips, Bettye Swann, Bob Dylan, Chemical Brothers to name a few for me).

[reverie]

I agree totally. It's still a great site, but with all the cds I had on my list, I figured I'd save the $30+ and purchase them at $4.99 a shot. And it's not like they have every cd available on their site. If so, I'd be a member for life. So I grabbed what I wanted, and will be moving on for the time being. I'd still recommend the site to others!

So, no, I'm not upset at all. It just crunched my time frame for buying (yay tax return!).

[fliggil]

I'm not too upset, I'm just using it to pick up my 1 monthly selection, it's nice to get something new every so often. Does anyone know why there is such a lack of selection? They don't have anything from most of my favorite artists, is it only a deal with select record labels?

[mookiemeister]

Has anyone ever had wrong CD mailed to them by yourmusic.com? Just recently yourmusic.com sent me a wrong CD. I contacted them and they already shipped the new correct CD to me. They also told me they are sending me a postage-paid label I can use to return the wrong CD. But I haven't receive the postage-paid label from them yet. I'm just wondering usually how long I need to wait to get the label from them.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Janet Air]

Tried to go to the website but couldn't be found also they never shipped my July selection. Anyone know whats going on?

[dtcarson]

Interesting....They didn't ship my July selection, but I thought it was because we had a credit card mix up [bank gave us a new one to prevent some fraud and we forgot to tell yourmusic till just the other day.]
One time tonight the site did come up for me, but it said "Our site is now down for scheduled maintenance", so it's possible it's just routine.

[reverie]

Out of curiousity I went to their site, and all seems normal to me (granted I'm not a member anymore, so I can't access that part of the site).

[dtcarson]

Okay, it came up. Yesterday afternoon and last night it wouldn't do anything. I guess they fixed it, whatever 'it' was.

[DodgingCars]

I'd guess they make deals with record companies -- and are probably selling a lot of stuff that is still popular but not necessarily "hot." -- There'd be no reason for ther record companies to sell them "hot" titles at a really reduced rate.

Their selection is ok. I have about 35 CDs in my queue.

[reubs82]

I actually just ran across this site, and I was wondering if anyone here is still enrolled at yourmusic.com? There are plenty of CDs I want to get, and if this is still a well-run site I'd be interested.

Anyone out there still use this group? Thanks.

[Liquid Death]

yeah, i still get the occasional CD from them - still well run and worth it if you're interested.

[pOpus]

I was a member, cancelled, and then rejoined. The service I have gotten since rejoining has been great. The free shipping seldom takes more than three or four days to arrive, and all of the products are perfect. No complaints at all.

[dtcarson]

I rejoined before Christmas to buy one cd as a Christmas present. Rejoined, ordered, shipped, cancelled. No complaints.

[mkdevo]

just got this email.. :(

Thank you for being a valued yourmusic.com customer.

Starting on January 1, 2007, we will be increasing the monthly fee and CD prices at yourmusic.com to $6.99.

If you do not wish to continue your subscription at the $6.99 price, you are free to cancel at any time by accessing your account.

We hope you'll continue to enjoy your subscription and take advantage of our still low price of only $6.99 with free shipping.

Sincerely,
Yourmusic.com

[sailor_moon]

Yeah, I got that email too. I've been thinking about canceling anyway because there's just not that much they have that I want. This just helps me make my decision. Maybe in the future when more stuff has been added I'll think about rejoining.

[dvdempress]

I was thinking of rejoining, but after seeing that they are raising the price to $6.99 a month makes my decision easy.....

[Tscott]

I got the email too. I whittled my queue down from 20+ items to about 9 "must haves". I just ordered 5 of those and plan to quit before the end of the month with or without the remaining four.

Their service has been a lot slower lately, taking over a week to ship orders to me. Plus the site has constant bugs (one recent order somehow mutated so it listed 8 copies of each of the CDs I had ordered- even though I only owed them around $19, the order was listed for several days as being a $150+ order). Then finally I got two shipping notice emails on the same day for this order- one said they were shipped on the 24th, one said they were shipped on the 26th- both said I was charged $19 for the order. I notified them about this order and it was cleared up in a couple days, and I was only charged once, but I'm ready to move on from this service (once the Jesus and Mary Chain dual-discs I ordered get out of backorder status).

[Rogue588]

Wow. That's pretty sucky. Guess I better clear out the 4 or 5 discs in my queue. Mostly P-Funk remasters.

It's amazing how shitty this service has gotten..

[dtcarson]

Obviously if they're having shipping or billing problems, that's one thing, and I know we're used to 5.99, and really enjoyed the 4.99, but is 6.99 really all that bad for new CDs, with no tax and free shipping [assuming you can find a title you want]? It still seems like it beats the crap out of buying at a B&M or paying 9.99 for an itunes album.

[Hollowgen]

maybe so, but if you work your regular BMG account right, your average cost is far less than 6.99 / cd. even less than 5.99 if you play your cards right.

i'll stick to doing just that!

[SFranke]

Yourmusic is good if you reactivate an old account and choose a two-disc set as your next queue item. You get two free CDs that way!

[Jay G.]

For those who want to extend their 5.99 subscription for a year or longer, you could buy a gift subscription for yourself now, cancel your account when the price hikes, and then redeem the gift subscription:

http://www.yourmusic.com/gift_subscriptions/

The downside is that you'll be paying upfront instead of monthly, but since the subscription goes over the period of a whole year, you get the selection of new releases as they come out.

The longest one gift subscription goes is one year, but you can buy multiple subscriptions now since, according to their FAQ, they never expire:

http://www.yourmusic.com/gift_subscriptions/how_gift_works.html

[vu_quy]

Yeah that does suck....guess I'm getting spoiled w/ the $5.99/CD but their service has gotten better IMO...my 1st two shipments as a new member came in broken/cracked cases...since then they have been great! Will have to discuss w/ the Mrs. about whether to continue the service!

[hondo21]

[Jay G.]

with no tax? I certainly pay tax (6%) here in PA. My monthly bill is $5.35.
I'm assuming you meant $6.35, unless you somehow got to keep the $4.99 price.

Anyway, when I lived in WI, I didn't pay tax, but now in NY I do.

from youmusic's site:
http://www.yourmusic.com/help/index_sub.html?faq_section=2&sub_section=taxes
"Yourmusic.com charges state and local taxes, if applicable."

Typically "applicable" means whether or not they have a distribution center or headquarters located in the state you're ordering from.

However, in addition to their quickly inflating prices, I was also referring to their "queue" system. I've had problems with it, such as items disappearing and whatnot.

[Jay G.]

However, in addition to their quickly inflating prices, I was also referring to their "queue" system. I've had problems with it, such as items disappearing and whatnot.
I've had items disappear from my queue because they're no longer available. I always get an email notifying me though.

[MrE]

Ditto. I've got no complaints about yourmusic. The worse problem I can think of is a broken case or 2, and they sent out a replacement as soon as I emailed them.

OTOH I have had a few run-ins with the BMG club -- they seem to screw up royally every year or 2. It takes a lot more work to keep them honest.

[auto]

Not a huge deal and I'll probably continue the program. I will stop the impulse buys and just let them come from my queue.

However, this kills their pricing on 2xCDs. Those will now be $13.98! -eek-

[DeltaSigChi4]

Is there anything on there worth getting, deal-wise, anymore?

Box sets or anything????

E

[Doctor X]

You are better off with a regular BMG account for box sets and most multi-disc sets. The box and multi sets are priced at 6.99 per disc at Yourmusic and there are usually codes to get them cheaper or with free shipping through BMG.

That said, there are a few cd/dvd sets on Yourmusic that go for the regular 6.99 price and these can be put in your queue.

Yourmusic just had a sale earlier this week for buy 2 get one free. That comes out to cds for 4.66 each. This is the first time that I know of that they had a sale like this.

[Zodo]

Are there any deals now for those that reactivate an account?

[SFranke]

You used to get a free CD if you reactivated an account. I don't know if that is still true.

[Mikael79]

Is there anything on there worth getting, deal-wise, anymore?

Box sets or anything????

E

I purchased the Bob Dylan Bootlegs Volumes 1-3 boxset for a very good price from yourmusic.com It's cheaper than any traditional B&M or web-based stores. I'm not sure if it'd be cheaper from BMG or not.

[MrE]

Yes, you can still get a FREE CD when you re-activate:

When I click the link nothing states that I'll get a free CD if I reactivate...is it supposed to say that?

[MrE]

No, it should say "Come back today and get a FREE CD!"

[Smithers]

I got that "get a free cd" thing in my email, and I tried to to reactivate, but it say I'm unable to reactivate the account.

anyone know what's wrong?

Any new codes for the $5.99 deal instead of the current $6.99?

Those deals are long gone.

Holy thread bump. I actually got in for a short period at $4.99. It only lasted a couple of months until they upped the price to $5.99. I instantly opted out at that point.:)

C'mon now. They had some good B2G1 sales last year.

Have they eliminated the entire BMG Sony Catalog on yourmusic.com too?

[reverie]

I had no idea they do sales on the site. How do you guys find out about them? I'm a member, but don't remember seeing e-mails for it.

I've been on and off there for awhile now. Once I run out of thing I want, I'll quit for awhile until they get a bunch of new stuff in I'm interested in. I still think $6.99 is a terrific deal for cds, and I don't have the patience to play the BMG game.

Doctor X posted them while they were around. It looks like the last one was in July of last year, so don't hold your breath for another one.

Yourmusic is overpriced right now. I think the best deal currently is to join the music club (15/1), fulfill with a 1/4 and take advantage of the FREE + s/h codes while they last.

See first post in part 5 of the music club thread for all the details:

Yourmusic has some advantages over BMG:

a) The queue makes a nice wish list, a feature missing from BMG.
b) When items in the queue are about to be discontinued, you will receive a message at the top of the queue.
c) Some boxed sets are cheaper at yourmusic than at BMG. The Doors' Complete Studio Recordings comes to mind.
d) New Arrivals are easier to find and can be viewed on one page.
e) You don't have to buy more than one disc to get a good price.

BMG also has its benefits:

a) Unit price is usually lower than yourmusic if buying multiple items using a discount code.
b) Two-disc sets are especially good deals with the right code.
c) Music Points lead to free (plus shipping) CD's.
d) You can sometimes speak to a human at BMG. Not at yourmusic.
e) BMG doesn't have a dumb name.

My main reason for cancelling my yourmusic subscription was that items in my queue were not going to be available. Since I wanted to make a big order before they dropped out of the catalog, BMG was definitely the way to go -- especially with the FREE CD codes (no purchase necessary) that are still working. If they last, the deal will be - at a quick guess - 32/1 + s/h.
