Recommend a good on-line CD supplier that IS NOT AMAZON!!

Blackwell's. The music shop mail order department has gone downhill since the days it was run by @rvw, but they do still have a decent stock, and it's online these days.

(I assume you are after proper music...)

Off topic, but when did @rvw work at Blackwells?

On topic. HMV still has an online service doesn't it?

I ripped all my CD's to lossless FLAC files stored on a hard drive in my HTPC. I use Kodi as a front end, using an Arcam DAC connecting it via USB to my hifi. I've got all the cd's under a simple alphabetical artist menu system. It sounds excactly the same as CD player through the same DAC.

Is that the deep bookshop we went to on the Oxford run?

I love having the cd rather than download

I like the sleeve notes etc

Downloading for me will never happen. I just hate it

 

[vickster]

Amazon are good (or have been) as you often get a download with a CD purchase

 

[slowmotion]

I sometimes use base.com. They used to be 101cd.com.

Jumbo Records

I didn't realise Jumbo was still trading, it was always a must on any visit to Leeds.

Britannia Music Club?


What?

Smart Choice Music.

I get mine off of a certain online auction site called eBay. There's a seller on there based in Jersey (name eludes me temporarily) that does used books and CDs. they're very fussy about the quality of the items, and their customer service is stellar - when one CD failed to arrive they refunded without demur.

The bookshop yes. The music shop is just up the same street a is the art shop.

 

[Kempstonian]

You could take a look at www.discogs.com

CDs and vinyl on there with genuine prices rather than the optimistic prices Ebay sellers usually ask for (and usually don't get).
