Where to shop for music?

I have been frustrated recently with the demise of a favored source for researching and purchasing music on the web. I would welcome the suggestions of others about proven sources with excellent search engine capabilities, thorough inventory of all types of music, and reasonably low prices (including the S&H charges!).

Any good experiences to relate?

For current new or recent recordings amazon.com is probably as good as any online retailer. If you are looking for new audiophile recordings or audiophile reissues try The Elusive Disc (www.elusivedisc.com) or Acoustic Sounds (www.acousticsounds.com) both have an outstanding selection as well as a good inventory of rare and out of print used recordings. There are several others that advertise in magazines such as Stereophile and The Absolute Sound. Good Luck, Doug

Amazon has links with other sellers of used copies of recordings if available. If you are looking for a rare item or an need to get a import not released in the US try cdchoice.com

When I'm looking for details of a certain album, cdnow.com rarely fails. Take the 'cd' part to heart, few records.

I suggest checking out www.pitchforkmedia.com for reviews and information. They will have links to Insound, an online cd and record seller. They have a lot of stuff others do not, including a respectable inventory of vinyl. I have found their prices to be reasonable, as are their s/h charges.
