Hello, I was looking for music online and came across this site: BMG
They seem reputable, but I heard bad things about their quality.
They have two really good deals for just signing up. 7 free CD's and buy 1, get 12 free.
Does anyone have experience with their CD's? Are they really lower quality or not?

BMG music club (and it's offshoot Yourmusic.com) use the exact same CDs as everyone else. The only difference is a 'Mfd. for BMG direct' label where the barcode would be on the back art of the CD case.

Yourmusic.com is a great way to build up a music library. Their selection isn't huge or particularly deep, but for mainstream stuff it is wonderful. If you're getting into a new genre, then you can usually find a number of popular CDs to try.

I'll agree with what's been said so far, but I'll also add: Watch out for edited versions of albums you want. Last time I was in a club like that I ended up with a handful of censored discs.

Yourmusic tends to be pretty clear about distinguishing between real and edited IIRC.

When I was building my collection, BMG and Columbia House were a great way to get started. They may not of had many current quality selections but you could get earlier material and especially greatest hits. The cds were the same prints as bought in retail stores.

Thanks, I think once my W2's get in I will know where to spend it.

Wal-Mart does that to discs and that is why I will never buy from them.

Even this seems less common these days. Back in the day, all BMG discs had this. Most of what I get from yourmusic.com seems to have normal bar codes.
