how much does a cd cost in your country? here in holland new cds are as insanely expensive as 20 euros, which is 15 US dollars, i reckon. i want to know what country i have to go to to get lower prices ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
in sweden, it's like 17 $ and rising. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
16.50 euros or $14.44 - that's the normal price. in some shops they are quite cheap, only 15.50 euros ($13.67). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And they still wonder why so many CDs get copied... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well...I hate not having my fav. cd's, the originals, in my collection... so i buy them anyway, no matter price. But then i'll have to eat noodles for the rest of the month... =( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it seems they are even more expensive in sweden! and i thought we in holland had it bad....... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hehehe sad ... but true (i mean ... there are a lot of people downloading mp3s and copy cds - i don't mind) That would be a good question: How much would you pay for a new cd? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah... in sweden everything is fucked up. Do not come here. |
||||||||

generally idm stuff usually sells @ around 30-40NZ$ for new stuff ... = ca. 15-20 US dollars. ofcourse you can get cd's a lot cheaper .. usually 20 or 25 NZ, but idm is usually under "special import" - blah blah .. |

New CDs through mail order in the US is about 15.35 euro ($13.50) for a new CD. |

CD's in the UK cost around £10 - £15 ...average price is around £13..but depends on what you are buying/how popular it is... I've really slackened off buying CDs in the last few years - I've got about 500 of the fuckers (probably a lot more if I could be arsed to count) but that passion has died a little...In fact, it's really rare for me to buy a CD that isn't AFX...(and most of the stuff I want I get from ebay..)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're lucky debuts from smaller acts come in at £8.99 and there are a helluva lot of label samplers about going for £3.99ish which is great they are fucking expensive because the label takes about 40% of the price and the artist gets about £1 for each CD sold. i'd rather start a label than be an artist if that is true... |

In Italy you find GEOGADDI at € 15,5 DRUKQS at € 22,00 in the cheaper shops. In the expensive shops you pay GEOGADDI € 20,60. |

ciao Woofer, Have you ever ordered Cd/lp from warpmart? Q |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are cd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
$12-18 plus tax The major companies set their prices so that you can't buy new CDs for less than that. Its evil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

My brother works at Borders, where I get 75% of my cds, so I get a third off the price, and that means I usually spend $8-14 dollars for a cd (including the discount) when I shop there. There's another place, Bert's music, which gets really good cds and records, and sometimes I buy music there, spending $9-10 for an EP (12") because they're imported, and $8.50 for really good cds (used). I got MHTRTC for $8.50, and I get the other 25% of my music online for fairly cheap as well, $6-10. |

i hate the cd price. i wish i was not so poor and i wish i had all my albums original and not on a lousy cd-r. its sad but true... hahahah metallica... |

alienworkshop, are those new albums you get online for $6-$10??? If so let me know where you're getting them, that's below cost. :) |
||||||||
|

Most new CDs from FYE are $20. It's sick. With tax it comes to like $21.50. |
||||||||

Ebay, man, ebay. There are always people selling new releases on ebay, and when there are a lot of people selling stuff for relatively cheap, there arent always a lot of bids on all of them. I got new releases and stuff on ebay for 6-10, yeah, well I could if I wanted, but I havent wanted really many new releases recently, you could use eBay though, trust me, it's like hella-oh shit |
||||||||
|

$10.00 to $15.99 in usa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I often buy stuff from ebay, I found a few good deals on new CDs but they were "promos" which I don't like to buy. I always check there first before buying a disc, sometimes the bidding is higher than buying new, which seems kind of stupid to me. |

I think Germany is the cheapest in Europe. There were a group of artists who got together years ago to do something about it. I think the mighty Dire Straits were involved. I pick most stuff up on vinyl now at a cheaper price. I don't buy many albums anymore, mostly 12"s at good prices. |
||||||||

here in the middle of nowhere, IL USA, they go from about 14.99 to 18.99, depends on the store and how much they want to rip you off. |

in canada, cds are pretty cheap. mainstream/commercial cds sell for about 9-10$ us. idm cds cost more, about 13-14$ us. the most expensive single cd i bought is lp5 for about 23$ us!! that was three years ago... i can't believe how high the prices are in the uk. we can't complain in canada. |

here in Tennessee, U.S., CDs go for almost $20 or more. 2CD sets can go to almost $40. i have stopped buying CDs for a while: being a broke college student and all. |

I bought On Land today for 20 dollars tax and all... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Would be about $15 - $25 Canadian. But I buy used CD's almost exclusivly. Then it's $5 - $10. I've goten some really great imports and rare stuff used. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Around here you can get 'em at best buy for around $10-$18 US. |
||||||||

12.99-20.99 i wish they would be like around 6 - 8 bucks. it only cost them like twenty cents to make to make a cd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhm, it's usually around 17$..... it's fucked up. |

go to CANADA......thats where i go to get CD's....ehehe a & b sound and future shop specifically. they have great prices on DVD's as well. HOWEVER....the reason they are such a good price to me (an american) is that our US dollar is kicking the Canadian dollar....so everything is like half price to me in canada. =) so i guess it's all relative =) |

here in iowa prices seem to be around $14 or $15 dollars at least at the local indie shop-of course if it is on warp it might be a little more$18. In 3 years time I worked between two different record shops in Ill. and I watched the prices slowly rise from $15.99 to $19.99. actually I remember carrying squarepusher's hard normal daddy import for $29.99 at one of the stores. |

corngrower, 23. what about you? do you ever get a chance to hit the record collector? |

19, I go there occasionally, not as much these days as I do the majority of my music shopping on Ebay now. Did you go to West High? |

actually I just moved here with my girlfriend from the quad cities(moline) in june. after working at those record stores I mentioned earlier I eventually had to get a real job which happens to be at Fareway(transferred from the one in moline to N.L.). I work part-time and go to school at uiowa. your 19, do you go to college or plan to? what about work? |

I dont think you people should complain about CD prizes. Here in Iceland a new cd costs 2700 Ikr, which is about 28 US dollars!! Dont ask me why but there are some stupid import taxes here. :( For example a magazine that costs 2 pounds in Britain costs about 10 here! This is the reason why I burn most of my CD´s! |

Anyway, I was going to Kirkwood, but took this semester off do to me loosing my job and getting arrested several times. I now work at the Panera Bread on the east side of Iowa City. I actually am hoping to take a six-semester program at the U to be an x-ray technition, lots of radiology classes and stuff. If I complete it, I would be able to start working right away at the VA hospital, because my mom works there and she will hook me up, starting at about $12-14 an hour, and they would also pay for some of my future school. What kind of classes are you taking? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats happened to me a few times to. what else do you like besides idm or electronica? I'm not sure if you dig indie stuff but there is a cool band called knife in the water playing at the green room on the 28ththurs I believe. from austin texas-kinda have a dark country sound. did you catch the american analog set a couple months ago? they put on a great show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like certain aspects of all music, but my main favs other than electronic would have to be hip-hop and rock/classic rock. American analog... not familiar with them, who are they? I havn't went to many shows around here latly, but that sounds kind of interesting. Are you gonna try to catch the reflex tour when it goes through Chicago? |

my uncle does something related to that-not sure what his actual title is but he has always seemed to make a comforable income. thats cool about the hook-up with your mother at the va-hospital. I hope that works out. my major is psychology. areas of interest within psych. would be personality and abnormal and I'm leaning more towards clinical work. thats a bummer about getting arrested. iowa city has its fair share of cops don't they. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, they sure as hell do, and they seem to not like me very much either. I've always been interested in psychology myself, took some classes in high school, but nothing since. Well, I'm starten to get pretty tired, gonna hit the sack (after hitting the bong on course). I'm sure we'll chat again, I'm on usually on here a few times a day, and mabey we could chill sometime, go hit some bars or something, give me an E-Mail if your interested. Peace |

Amanset is mellow, male vocals hushed and quiet, organs, light brushing with the drums, v. underground sounding guitars at times. if you like mellow dreamy lush stuff than I recommend picking one of their albums up. they have the cds at the r. collector. start with From Our Living Room To Yours. with the exception of the newest record all their albums have a flow to it. similar to pink floyd or old yes in that the songs are linked together. probably talked to much about them. anyway I really don't don't get into the stuff on reflex. electronic stuff I dig... proem(probably my favorite),arovane,phonem,tim tetlow, brothomstates, sense, novel 23, r. devine, phonencia(sp?), and Ae. as far as hip-hop goes I just picked up the the X-men and swollen members. I think I should probably get some sleep as currently I'm down in centerville visiting my gram and we are going to someplace on the square to have breakfast tomorrow. she just told me that this town has the world's largest town square? As she said it with a hint of pride I had to tell that I was not aware of that. anyway, take care and maybe sometime we could make a run to the record store together and raid the electronic section. :) |
