I’ve been considering purchasing some CDs from yourmusic.com since they only charge $5.99 for a CD, which also includes shipping. But the price sounded somewhat too good to be true so I shot them an email inquiring about the quality of the CDs they sell. And here is an excerpt of their reply:
“There is no difference in quality between the CDs you receive through
yourmusic.com and those purchased in a retail outlet. Our recordings
are manufactured under the same rigid specifications, are warranted free
from defects and meet or exceed "Red Book" specifications. The "Red
Book" is the industry standard for mastering and manufacturing Compact
Discs.
yourmusic.com is an operating unit of BMG Direct, Inc. Since the
selections are manufactured under license specifically for BMG Direct,
Inc., the packaging may differ slightly from those purchased from a
store.”
Has anyone purchased CDs from yourmusic.com or BMG and noticed any differences between their CDs and the retail outlet CDs? Are BMG CDs thinner? Do they scratch easier? Will they last as long? Is the sound quality the same?
I am hesitant and skeptical. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with BMG CDs?
