I'm not surprised either. They gave up the lease to the great store they had on Newbury and Mass Ave in Boston to Virgin years ago and opened up a real slipshod store next to Fenway Park which closed after about a year. The other stores which they have in Burlington and Cambridge have poor selection of jazz and clasical, not to mention high prices. I have never been too thrilled with their internet operation either. They never got a handle on their inventory as far as I am concerned.
I have saved myself a lot of $$ not to mention mileage and time by dealing with CD Universe, although I do miss browsing at a brick & mortar location sometime.
