BMG Music Service: An Inexpensive way to Build Your CD Collection

by Bryan_Carey Bryan_Carey is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Online Stores & Services, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Nov 10 '02
Music clubs, with their offers to get a whole bunch of CD’s with little or no commitment to future purchases, often seem too good to be true. Like many of you out there, I have given into the temptation on more than one occasion, signing up for my...

BMG Music Services Online Store-Such A Deal!

by Suzer Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 04 '01
Pros: 12 CDs for price of one, responsive, yes responsive, customer service
Cons: Shipping costs; somewhat awkward website
Music has always been a love of mine. Beautiful music can pick me up out of a poor mood, sooth me while driving in Los Angeles bumper to bumper traffic, and relax me after an insane day at work. I enjoy a wide variety of music from classical to folk,...

BMG Music On-Line Store; Who Needs Wal-Mart, or Best Buy, or Tower Records…?

Years ago, if I saw an ad that told me that you get 12 cds for the price of 1, I would have thought that the advertiser was crazy. But what I found out was, it isn't so free once you decide to listen to the ad and join. BMG is a music store which ...

by freebird91 , Apr 19 '02
BMG Music is one of the best ways to purchase your music online if you are like me and live in a small town where the nearest music store is 20-30 miles away and don’t shop much. I’ve been a part of BMG off and on since 1993, from the moment I became a...

by Ravenskya , Nov 25 '01
Pros: 12 CD's for the price of 1
Cons: Insane shipping, price gouge for that one CD, and terrible customer service
I have joined and quit BMG several times through out my life. And as such I have gained quite a musical collection. Here is the run down:

1) You go to their site, which is clunky, awkward and slow.
2) You pick between 3 and 7 cd's which...

I would and probably will do it again, several times.
by drewycp ,Jan 25 '05
I actually like this thing. You can get like 7 CDs for the price of 1 and then you can cancel after you buy one CD at regular price. I've done this before, and I got a couple requests to reactivate my account in the mail after I terminated my subscription, but I just sent another letter and they stopped sending stuff. I don't know why people don't take advantage of this more often. I'm a college kid, so I don't have much cash, and this is a good way to get lots of good CDs for cheap. I'm actually trying to get a free iPod right now, and they offer BMG as a service you can select to help my account, so if you're interested in BMG just paste this link into your navigation window to help me out! http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=14437936

ALTHOUGH THEY MAY HAVE SOME DECENT SALES ON MUSIC.

I signed up for BMG for the Buy one get 12 free deal. But when I started getting outragous bills for my "free" CDs I was a little mad to find out that they charge an arm and a leg for shipping and handling. Then each month they sent me some crappy CD that I didn't want and over and over I wrote to them and told them to cancel my account and to STOP sending me stuff- Well a good few months later they finally took the hint and stopped. I won't make the mistake of going back to them again.

Not again in this lifetime
by maineskueez ,Mar 08 '07
Lots of big beefs with this company. First and foremost is their failure to make it possible in any way other than snail mail to contact them. They provide no phone number or email contact to resolve problems. Second is the rapid rate at which the charge your credit cards without giving you an opportunity to decide whether you want their selection choice. Third, the pricing of their products and shipping. I would expect to pay a premium on shipping if purchases came in a reasonable amount of time. My last shipment took 3 weeks to get and cost me over $9 in shipping. The fourth problem I am going to bring up is the quality of the music CDs they are selling. Absolute garbage. I have a Bose sound system and every CD purchased from BMG sounds like I'm listening to an old vinyl record through dollar store speakers. I satisfied my obligation to their "club" and got out immediately. Of course, they had to get one more parting shot and charge my credit card for another selection I did not choose 3 days AFTER I canceled.
