Where to buy CD's

"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.

Thank you for all the responses, never purchased music via amazon, I am told to stay away from certain labels due to poor cd pressing quality. I recall BMG? was one them. How does one know who pressed the CD?

Most of mine come from amazon or the goodwill store these days.

Occasionally still, from the local record store chain, where I used to buy most, which unfortunately is now down to just a single store with good selection and fair prices about 20 miles away.
