Best Online Music Retailers

You asked where others get music and why.People gave you several places then you write

Thanks folks - I was requesting your favorites, not necessarily an exhaustive list.

Sorry, but you didn't specify an exact number you wanted.Then you made your little snide remark to me.
I cited 4 places I do business with and why.If you were offended by my suggestion to do a search to find many more,so be it.

Tpreaves,

"A quick Google search will give you literally hundreds of places to buy music.Try it sometime."

My apologies, I misinterpreted your comment above as a snide remark.

I am just after different people's opinions on the "best" retailers. Why I started the thread in the "Best of" catagory and titled it "Best Online Music Retailers". I may know next to nothing, or in fact, nothing at all, but I can hit the Goggle icon and type a few letters in sequence...

I find Google out performs Goggle every time for web searches. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Back to the topic... My favorites are the most obvious.
Half.com for used cds.
Amazon.com for new and used cds.
My experience with both is very positive.

I've had good luck w/ http://www.secondspin.com - all used CDs, DVDs, and games.

They often have specials (announced via email) of 25% to 40% off and sometimes the added bonus of $1 shipping per item. They do a good job of cataloging different versions (e.g., remaster, deluxe edition, CD+DVD edition, etc.).

I like http://www.amazon.com, too.
