Are CDs From Yourmusic.com the same as the retail versions?

If not are they the same?? Ex. retail=digipack / yourmusic=digipack or retail=digipack / yourmusic= jewelcase

I ask because I read somewhere they weren't the retail versions (what does this mean?)...

All the discs I've gotten from them have been in jewelcases, and I believe they're essentially the same as retail copies.

BTW, as this isn't a bargin, this would likely be better off posted in another forum here at DVDTalk.

I have received several digipacks from yourmusic. If you are familiar with the BMG club, the cds from YM are exactly the same since YM is part of BMG.

Also keep your eye out on this forum because every once in a while YM has a buy 2 get 1 free sale.

If it is a jewel case in store, it is a jewel case at Yourmusic. If it is a digipak in store, it is a digipak at Yourmusic.

What is probably meant by they aren't "retail version," is that the bar code is replaced by the BMG barcode, which looks slightly different and says the disc was manufactured by BMG.

That is not always true. There have been cases where I have received a jewel case version instead of a digipak (and as far as I am aware there was not a retail jewel case version). I actually prefer that in some cases depending on the design of the digipak.

Sometimes they'll have 1 cd/1 bonus cd or 1cd/1 dvd for $6.99. That's a hot deal.

One example is the Depeche Mode remasters...all but Violator are $6.99. The Best Of with the dvd is also $6.99

yeah, but when they're charging double for something which should techincally be a "bonus" (ie little to no extra cost) that's a rip-off.

A shame the OP didn't bother to provide any of that information.

Search by "Album Title" and enter "SACD" as the search phrase.
