"About time," you might think, but actually the CD clubs offered damn good values, even in the digital download era. If you played it right, you could score CDs at less-then-Rhapsody prices (and definitely less than iTMS prices), even with the outrageous handling fees. But maintaining the account, and dealing with horrible auto-send features, was too much of a hassle. Anyway, industry leading Columbia House is folding up its music division to focus on DVDs.

(Page 1)2. Instead of "About time" I would say "way too late, since napster became such a huge hit"

1. I have to say, if they have the music you like, eMusic absolutley kills any of the services. I use Rhapsody to listen, and eMusic to buy. You can get a free 100 tracks, and if you joion they are only about 25 cents, and they are MP3s, not DRM files. It's great:
