My thread disappeared... usually if it's in the wrong forum it's moved or if it inappropriate it is locked and an explanation given... so I don't know what to make of my thread just going poof. Here's the info:

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

It looks like your other "thread" is Post #77 in the "Music Download Pay Sites" thread. You may have inadvertently posted it there?

GatorDeb

No, it was definitely here. I guess a mod made it a post instead of a thread.

There's a main thread in Hot Deals but a lot of people may just think it's more posts about the deal, not the price change. I thought it was big enough news to warrant a thread.

Old news.

It's not old news to me. I'm mad about it!

auto

Fair enough. But is it being discussed here and, presumably, if you were in on the $4.99 deal you should have also received an e-mail about it.

Also, the club has been $5.99 since it was launched. This only concerns people who got in on an introductory $4.99 special offer.

But...

I'm mad too!

Well, I missed out on the $4.99 deal, so I'm glad you $4.99 bastards aren't living on the gravy train anymore.

I'll quit and join the regular bmg club, as $6 is more then I'm willing to pay.

I just signed up and I'm purchasing SACD & Dualdisc. IMHO , $5.99 for these types of disc's is quite a deal.

EdL

It's all about value.

Back when it was still $4.99 they banned me for buying too many records, claiming that I must be reselling them. All my complaints fell on deaf ears.

$6 a cd seems to me to be a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, I'm about tapped out at yourmusic.com.. another album or two since I just resigned back up and I'll be done again. Hopefully they'll get a lot more in in the future.

But, but, but, I really do need 500 copies of Devil Without a Cause! They're for my "cousins".

I bought a bunch of boxsets right before Christmas, some for gifts and some for myself. I had heard about prices going up so I wanted to get as much as I could while I was still "grandfathered" into the lower price. They sent me three emails saying they would ban me if I couldn't explain why I had bought so much. I responded to all three, both through email and website, and still they decided to ban me. I had a lot more I was planning to buy too. I was pissed for a couple of days and then realized I was spending a lot of money wastefully and I didn't really need to.

That's still pretty insane that they'd ban someone who was putting money into their company, and wasn't stockpiling 40 of each title. That, to me, would red flag a sa re-seller, but not someone who just purchases 1-2 copies of 40 different albums or boxsets.

Isn't the purpose of their site to provide cheap music? You'd think they'd understand that people are sometimes willing to purchase twice as much, when the price is about 50% less than stores.

That's a foolish policy of them.
