Columbia Music House Shutters

"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."
The era of 10 CD's for a penny is over. Their ads, which were everywhere when I was younger, had all but disappeared in recent years and I had not even realized that they were still around.
