Today when i ordered an item via my cart, I was charged sales tax - the exhorbitant 9.25%, mind you, that combines my Tennessee state and county sales taxes.
Tennessee has a 9.25% sales tax?????
Wow, does any other city have a higher sales tax?

Basically,
there are only 2 groups:
1) Don't
2) Do
As for the legality stuff. Why don't you apply it to drug usage...

So, whether I buy the Bailey set (which has 10 discs) or the Teagarden (4 discs), I get the same discount?

Yes and those of us who buy the sets as they come out.. well no deal...
What do you offer us Mosaic?
That they will still be in business next year.

FWIW (not much it seems), there is more recorded music available for sale now than any time since the beginning of recorded music (and I mean percentage of the whole). THAT is what is put in jeopardy by current file sharing.
Depends on how you look at it.
The distribution systems are better today. So more recorded music might be available for sale now than at any time since the beginning of recorded music.
Tomorrow, looks like the distribution systems will even be better. It's more likely that MORE music will be available to MORE people in the future. Satelite, cable, and the internet radio are offering more music thru the air than before.
People hear music thru their cell phones. They buy ringtones. More music is played on TV shows and there are more shows and movies created than in the past. More music is being used (and paid for). Do TV shows and movies use music without paying for it?? Alot of new artists get their songs played on commercials, so they have other forms of revenue coming to them, not just the sales of CDs.
Looks like music availability is going UP.
Just the distribution systems are changing. Artists can make money selling CDs, selling online, playing concerts, doing commercials, putting their songs on TV or movies, doing exclusives for radio, etc. More distribution systems, more money.
There is still a BIG market for MUSIC.

There are still a couple of independent stores on Pico near the Best Buy, but they are pretty much exclusively used, without the delights and wisdom that one could get at Rhino back when it was still good. But Rhino probably never should have moved south. I'm sure the rent had something to do with it, and it probably seemed like a good idea - a new, much bigger space and parking lot. But I think they got just a bit too far from Westwood to lose walk-in traffic from UCLA students and westwood village in general. Amoeba also hurt, but Rhino should have been able to hold onto West Side patrons; it's 35 minutes to Amoeba from there.
It's really sad to see them go.
Rhino has basically been DEAD the last two years.

Everytime I read something like this, I'm sad. For the true jazz fan, there's nothing like going into a speciality store or the jazz section of a large retail chain, hunting through the bins, and chatting with the jazz-loving clerk or other customers, and swapping recommendations. I've had a great time doing that over the years and made a few good friends that way. Sad to see it go. But I have to blame myself too, because the majority of my purchases over the past 5 years have been from the web.
Now you can talk to the jazz fans here.

If you have more than 17 in your queue, you might consider sponsoring a new member in BMG.
The Sponsor gets (5) and the new member gets (12). The CDs cost out after shipping/taxes to about $4.50 each.

Huh?
Ya got me to flip the TV on again.

I do not understand why anyone stays with BMG and does not move to Yourmusic. What is wrong with $5.99 and no shipping?
BMG does not require a monthly purchase

I was pretty excited about the Sidney Bechet Select, but the $5 increase dulled the excitement quickly.

Are there any single CDs in BMG that are not included in yourmusic.com?
-
The price change isn't too significant, imo--15.00 per CD is acceptable to me. I will miss the preprinted numbers though.
At $44 per set, that's $14.67 (pretty close to $15)/CD.
Aren't the regular Mosaic CDs $18/CD?

My question asked about sales tax for a city, because some cities have a higher combined county & sate sales tax than the state. Asking for the highest state sales tax would not give me the same answer as asking for the highest sales tax in a city (because the county and state sales taxes are combined). I can usually relate more to a city, than a county location, so the county wasn't asked either.
