My own comments about CBS is that the initial deal is pretty good, but then they get really annoying with their monthly mailings which you have to answer. Otherwise, they automatically assume you want to buy the current CD of the month. RCA has a similar deal.

Having been a member of both for about 8 months, I have found that the Compact Disk Club gives a better overall selection and frequently better prices than CBS. Unfortunately, their service is not as good. After buying a few CDs from them, you become a "Preferred Member", and then every second CD is half price (initially, it's every third CD, I think). Also, they put on the occasional "sale", where you get two bonus coupons for every CD purchased, so that two out of every three CDs are half price. In general, I am very happy with both clubs, but because of these special deals, I do most of my purchasing from the Compact Disk Club. rick
