What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why?

The brunt of the question is pretty much covered in the title, but just curious where most people are buying any physical medium of music (vinyl, cassette, 8-track, etc.) online.

Personally, I've probably only bought a couple of items online. I mostly patronize my local independent record stores but, obviously, the selection of music available online is essentially infinite, so I'd like to start utilizing it more.

Thanks!

Over 90% of my new LPs are bought from musicdirect. The rest from record stores while buying used vinyl

I have used Records By Mail online for used records. They are accurately, visually graded, and have a 2 million record selection, great web site, bullet proof packaging, and reasonable prices. Never been disappointed.

Oops, forgot to mention why I buy where I do - cheapest price and availability.

Records by Mail is good. I once bought a wharped record from them, and Craig said to throw it away and gave me a refund. Usually priced higher than ebay but often worth it.
