where do you guys normally get your cds from? I've been going through amazon A LOT lately. I was going to order a Japanese version of KT Tunstall's Eye to the Telescope and Texas' Greatest Hits through one of their 3rd-party sellers but I decided to wait.
Hollowgen have you been out to Shelton? I lived there for a few years when I was younger.

I still get most of mine through good old brick & mortar music stores, whether they be local or a chain. It usually depends on whose got the best price, and/or where I've got store credit (from selling back CDs).
But if you're doing your shopping online, you should check out...
CDUniverse.com
..which I find to have better prices and faster shipping than Amazon. They also carry imports, too.
And if you're more specifically looking for imports, you may want to check out...
CD Wow!
...Their shipping takes a bit longer, but it's also FREE. They also have great prices. I just got the latest Feeder album - Silent Cry - from them for nearly half as much as it would have cost me to buy anywhere else I looked. It was well worth the extra 4 or so days it took to get it, considering.
BTW - I saw in another post you were using ImportCDs second party via Amazon. In case you didn't know, you can eliminate the middleman, and buy from them directly from their own site - importcds.com.

hey rocketdog thanks for the reply. I have ordered one cd from CDuniverse and that was a pre-order for the UK version of Viva La Vida. I was surprised that they never shipped it out on the 17th, but that is because it was on backorder. It actually just shipped out today! I have heard a couple people mention cdwow but I have not ordered anything from them.
As for importcds.com, I find that they seem to have a little bit lower prices when you order through amazon. I also heard that their service when ordering directly from them is NOT GOOD at all. This was just one particular thread on one message board so this may not be the norm, but from what people were saying, they're much better when you use them going through amazon.
I actually received 3 cds from them just yesterday but I was expecting 4. I am still waiting for a Japanese edition of Jay-Z's Black Album. And I just got done watching his Fade to Black DVD and now I'm really wishing it had come. Maybe a mixup in the post office...

that's cool you guys like to go pick up the new releases on the day they come out. I buy new DVDs when they come out whenever there's something I like, but Viva La Vida was the first time I ever bought a cd on its release date.

man I haven't heard of hardly any of the artists you guys mentioned.
Tscott, I think you might just be addicted to buying cds like I am. I got my first ipod about 9 months ago and discovered the wonderful world of itunes (i like it anyway)
anyway, I think I'm done buying cds. no more spending 12 or 13 bucks on a cd with only 2 songs that I like. this used to not bother me but times are a changing...i.e. I'm just getting stingy!
well I don't know what happened but I bought a couple of cds to really feel like I was supporting the artist and it just snowballed. I've bought about 30 cds from amazon in the last couple of months.
now i'm getting into the whole import thing and that's made things even worse lol

From - that's a long story. Currently residing in Maine, though.

Anyway, I use Itunes with my Ipod, but avoid downloading from the store if I can help it. eMusic or Amazon is how I roll. And I'm strictly an "albums" kind of guy- no picking only a couple of tracks from an artist. Though most of my purchases aren't the kind that are just looking for 2 or 3 radio hits.

haven't been to Maine but I would love to go there someday. I think the closest I've been is New York but that was just Manhattan for the US Open in '05
Tscott you are addicted and I believe you need to check yourself into rehab right away! I'll be in a room right next to you lol
i really like itunes because of the simplicity but I have used amazon and emusic as well. actually, i've been getting charged the $15 a month or whatever it is from emusic and I haven't bought anything from them in about 6 months maybe. I wish they had more mainstream artists.
I used to buy cds based on the radio/MTV/BET hits but now I'm looking for some really complete and solid albums. Some of my favorites are Hootie's Cracked Rear View, The Essential Billy Joel, Bow Down from Westside Connection, and Real World from the Young Dubliners.
Here are some of the cds that I just received from amazon and importcds yesterday

Cyndi Lauper -Bring Ya to the Brink
Chante Moore - Love the Woman
Mary J Blige - Growing Pains
There's not much pop & r&B love here but that's fine.

hey I like pop and R&B. I'm kind of starting to like a little bit of most everything. I was real into hip hop and R&B for awhile but I'm starting to shift more towards pop and rock.
I did replace a copy of Blackstreet's Another Level not too long ago though. any suggestions on albums I should be checking for big whoopa?

I got the new Motley Crue yesterday. I had that 10 off 50 coupon for Best Buy and needed to spend 5.01 more to use it.
I don't really keep up with new bands/music, so I don't really have any "plans" to buy CDs, I'm not waiting for release dates, etc.
Depending on pricing, I'll buy from Amazon, Deep Discount, Best Buy, or the band's website. Of course I've only bought three CDs for myself in the past year so I'm not exactly the target demographic.
