Where to buy CD's


Hi-

I am now just starting out in collecting CD's; I have been told to stay away from certain labels because of quality concerns. I live in Central America so I will need to order on-line. I like different music including alternative, Latin, Spanish guitar, Classic Rock. Any recommendations where to go?
Thanks!

Agree with Lowrider. Ive had great luck with the private vendors on Amazon (and found some rare cd's) as well as Amazon themselves. Ive had a few cracked jewel cases but I keep a case of those on hand and just swap the cracked case out with a new one?
Expect cracked jewel cases as most sellers use the cheapest packaging possible. Boxes are rare.

Because I order so many CDs, I bought high quality plastic cases on Amazon.

Or you can sometimes download for free, albeit perhaps in lowly MP3. Earlier this very week, Amazon was allowing free download of the Who's Tommy performed with the London Symphony. One downside is that it is MP3. The second downside, for at least some :), was that it did not include one track from the composition, Pinball Wizard by Rod Stewart. Of course, for .99 you could download that one track and splice into this marvelous body of work which otherwise sells as a 2 CD set for about $200. It was quite a score and was the best I have ever seen. I found out about it on spoofee.com.
