How about in store at HMV and get yourself a membership card? That's what I've done with 4K Blu rays and have already got £5 off my next purchase.

Not had a single problem with Amazon and many great 2nd hand deals

Amazon and ebay are my main source of Cd's .

I have only had one problem and I got to keep the wrongly sent Cd and they sent me the correct one as well.

I sometimes use Discogs or buy direct from the artists website.

I always buy from Amazon themselves but I rarely do that now because you have to pay postage under £20. Last thing I bought on Amazon was a Gant mens jacket for £75 from the Gant shop on there.

Surely with CDs you listen to them on YouTube now or buy from iTunes? Surely you would get something like a Bluetooth amplifier otherwise?

I changed 2 months agonto prime so i can get free delivery and thats when it went tits up.

All of a sudden none of my parcels arrived or got lost, broken and simply never arrived.

Different driver service i suppose
I hate them now

I use Amazon for most purchases, music magpie is good value and good service and sometimes in store at HMV if they have an offer on Poundland/world is also worth a look

Discogs

i use it all the time.

99% of the Cd's I buy are second hand and taking into account my musical taste ( non mainstream ) it is quite unlikely they are fake.

I try to buy all my new Cd's directly from the artists website or at a gig so that the money goes direct to the artist.

did they burn them themselves? or is it product of record label? in which case money goes to record label even if sold by michael jackson

Many of the new Cd's I buy are recorded and produced by the bands themselves and they have them mastered and manufactured by an outside company on their own label.

Many other small artists buy the Cd's in bulk from the labels and sell them for a profit at gigs.

It's normally amazon for me

but I have had cds from amazon market place where some of the cd will not play anything and the cdplayer thinks it's a dvd rom which makes me think this ones are fake .

so if I have to buy a cd now it's from amazon them selfs not from the marketplace but apart from that there is not meany places to buy cds now .

I tend to use Amazon too but usually from marketplace merchants like Music Magpie and Dodax, not had many problems with either of these two suppliers and they're generally cheaper than Amazon, with a fixed postage rate of £1.26. But I also do a quick price comparison on eBay too. Magpie have faster delivery times than Dodax.

I've just ordered 3 used CD's from Magpie for the princely sum of 1p each, plus postage.

Discogs is also good if you're looking for something rare or special... that's where I do most of my LP shopping.

Car boots.

Especially now that it's Easter and the summer car boot season is underway.

For blurays & DVD's we hire intead of buying. Watching a film twice is like reading a novel twice.

We have a Lovefilm (now owned by Amazon) subscription. On the rare occasion that a disk doesn't turn up or doesn't play properly after cleaning we report it and get sent another disk. If you have a better broadband connection than us, streaming would be an option.

Not to start an argument, but are you seriously saying you've never re-watched or re-read and found more than the first time? There are some movies I've watched dozens of times. Again, not trying to be argumentative, just genuinely surprised....

 

[macdiddy]

that we can watch over and over again on dvd or blu-ray but there are some that I have brought that I have watched only once and have put back on the shelf never to be viewed again.

Going back to the original question, any cd's I buy will be from my local independant music shop (our HMV closed down at the end of January) or also from Music magpie on Amazon.

The only novels I've read more than once in their entirety have been Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The only reason I read the Hobbit again was because I read it to my children when they were younger at bed-time. I've read sections of To Kill a Mockingbird twice because that was the novel for my English Lit O-level.

With films, you can always rent them twice. I have never done so because there has always been a sufficient number of new releases to get through. The only films I've watched twice or more have been ones shown on TV and even then, these days repeat viewing would take a very low priotity - eg watch a film again on xmas day with the family. Or watch a film that I last saw 30 years ago - usually ones that I think the rest of the family would enjoy watching for the first time.

When my children were three to four years old they watched Home Alone 1 and 2 on DVD forty times. They've long grown out of that comfort, repeat viewing phase now.

Life's too short to spend it watching films or reading novels where you know what's going to happen.

Amazon now.
Last saturday i pre ordered rogue one from hmv and it still has not arrived.
Pathetic

 

[lindsayt]

Maybe the HMV mail order department is run as a school project? All the pupils have been off on their Easter holidays. Your Bluray should be in the post on their return to school on Monday 24th April. *wacko*

At least with amazin ore order it normally arrives on the day of release.
Was only when i changed to prime it went tits up.

Very dissapointed with hmv

I normally buy from Amazon, but I must say prices aren't as good as they used to be... rarely do I pick up an album for less than 6 squid now, a lot of time even sh is knocking for £9 or £10 and even more, but rarely have I had a problem with delivery.

Occasionally buy via Discogs and Ebay.

Rogue one just arrived 7 days after order made online
Technically in time (3 - 5 working days)
But really not good enough
