And BMG Music Club continues to take my money
Evil geniuses they are, music overlords have found a way to migrate BMG's likely significant membership rolls to its successor program, Your Music. How have they done it? For old members, they've eliminated the major difference between the two programs — monthly charges. New members at Your Music have a monthly fee and music queue, at least in the service's announced plans so far. But BMG holdovers receive the standard flat $6.99/disc price. The offer snags me and has gotten the love/attention of the truly hardcore BMG fans ("I've been a member since 1985") at the DVD Talk forums, who earn karmic rewards (but not the now-mourned BMG Music Points) for as much as info as they share on coupons and deals. With the $6.99, no s+h, no queue thing, the question in the forums is the same as ever. Is there a better deal?
(Without, you know, switching to digital downloads.)
BMG Music Club is currently scheduled to die on June 23.
