Online shopping for music

Are there any good reliable online sources to purchase music from. I'm not interested in the mainly audiophile sources such as Music Direct. I buy from Amazon quite a bit as they have most everything I want but sometimes the wait is very long. My last order will take 2 months for them to ship. Tower is gone. Any good sources?

Thanks

you can also try BetterRecords and AcousticSounds, more mainstream on the order of MusicDirect although Betterrecords is a good spot for one off's.
Heard good things about CD Baby, lots of inde artists too

Shopping online is very convenient. You don't waste time on the road. You can buy any item while at home. Including toddler boy pants. After all, not always a small child likes to go shopping. With the help of the Internet, you can order any quality item.

Pop Market

Plaid Room Records

Discogs

There are literally dozens of places you can buy music online.  Many cater to a specific type of listener, so knowing your listening preferences would help.

Depends what you're looking for... vinyl? CDs?  Genres? 

I buy Jazz, Classic Rock, Current Americana, Singer-Songwriter, Folk, Newgrass CDs from:

 

importcds 

discogs (some new but mostly used)

Ebay

Amazon Marketplace (last resort)

(All of the above also sell vinyl)

 

There are also specialty shops that cater to particular genres.

 

Personally, I've found shipping speeds to be highly unpredictable.
