I have noticed a definite drop in service and deliveries from CDNow over the past year... and was very disappointed when they bought out MusicBlvd. They were in merger talks with Columbia House then Columbia House backed out. Now I see a fairly negative article in The Industry Standard, one of the best magazines on internet businesses. You might find it at http://www.thestandard.com/ If not, email me a [log in to unmask] if you are a concerned purchaser at CDNow. We have no stake in CDNow, Amazon.com, Columbia House, BMG or any other CD sales organization, but are concerned that Classical CD's have a marketplace that works. Ray Bayles
