I have finally gotten sick of my music collection eating into my bank account and have decided to start buying online. I'm a bit (ok, excessively) paranoid about online safety and all, which is why I haven’t tried this before.

I just wanted to ask everyone where they buy their music online and how reliable/safe they find it. Especially anyone who gets things shipped overseas (I'm from Australia)

Thanks! Any input would be helpful.

I have had a bad experience with Amazon, where they cocked my order up. So I had to wait two months for something that was suppose to be there in a fortnight. But I hear that it was an exception and that they are normally pretty reliable.

I always use websites like kelkoo to search for the albums i want and find the cheapest website i've had no trouble.

Django Music
Spun
Aquarius Records
Tonevendor

I hear Amoeba Records is working on an online store as well, and if that happens it will be mind-blowing.  Anyway, Django Music and Spun offer some of the best used prices and selection.  Check it out.

I have used Amazon lots of times and never had a mess up.

Ok well I did once but that wasnt Amazon that was someone at the post office stealing my digital camera.

Apart from that Ive never had a problem with Amazon.

Amazon is usually good for me.

Once I ordered an Of Montreal cd that never showed up, but that is the one time fuckage occured. Usually it is rocking.

Absolutely. Amazon are brilliant in my experience.

Yeah, Amazon makes the occasonal fuckup, but for the most part they know what they're doing.

The people selling used on Amazon though, (Used and New from X.XX) I would not trust for anything other than college textbooks. Six dollars for my C++ book, 10 dollars for my Spanish book, etc. Damn cheap.


Also, Froogle is like the most awesome site ever.

Amazon has a ridulously huge selection, and they're generally reliable. I also find some dirt-cheap new CDs on eBay.

Yeah. I don't have a credit card, so my use of amazon is relatively limited, but I pool all of my spare change and coinstar it into gift certificates when I can, then splurge it on two or 3 CDs that I'd have no chance of finding in any store (such as Star One). Their prices aren't great, but they're not outrageous either.
