"Amazon.com has signed with Bertelsmann to take over
operations for CDNow.com, effectively making what was, until
yesterday, the Internet's most popular music store, little
more than a link to Amazon.com in appearance."

-pitchfork

No more mp3 sound samples and extensive track listings from
CDNow.

I said it once and I'll say it again. The only thing Amazon
has successfully sent to me is spam mail.

I use Warpmart, DHR, HMV and a few others sometimes. HMV is
as big as I go.

CDNow was way overpriced. I haven't ordered anything from
them for years. Amazon has plenty of sound samples - maybe
just not as many or in such a variety of formats as CDNow.

I haven't had any problems ordering from the USA branch -
with the exception of imports. I usually don't order imports
from them - they often can't get 'em when they say they
can.

Good riddance CDNow!

cdnow was pretty poor. amazon has always had an impressive
selection. i opt for smaller business and local shops, but
amazon is a nice dotcom to fall back on.

i don't shop at amazon (bn.com and bestbuy.com are the only
big corporations i'll give my cd $ to cos they're the best),
but lemme put it this way:
cdnow - $2.50 to ship one cd; most expensive prices i've
seen on the net
amazon - free to ship one cd; one of the better prices
compared to other conglomerates

I noticed that too, for a minute I was convinced that I had
somehow ended up on Amazon's music pages.

I dont like this new system - change is bad!!
