I'm searching for some CD's online and I am aware of discogs and i've found music stack (although unsure on them) and even Amazon have 1 that I want, but is anyone aware of any other places I could go to look for rare-ish CD's, that are reputable and could be cheaper than discogs? I'd like to explore more options if there…
Pre-sale tickets
Not really sure where I should post this, so thought MUSIC category would be a good start. I wondered if anyone knew whether pre-sale passwords were published on the web?

Depeche Mode tickets sent out?
Is anyone else still waiting for DM tickets for the May concerts in London (28/5 + 29/5) from Ticketmaster? Bought a ticket months ago on Ebay and seller told me he would get back in touch when he had the ticket in hand. I haven't heard anything since and was thinking about getting in touch with him but if others are still…
Why do music (and film) companies £$%$$ on those who still buy physical media?
Went to but a copy of Nick Cave's new album a couple of days ago. Out of stock. Apparently it is not being reprinted. !!!!!!? Instead I downloaded/stole a flac of the music. Why do publishers not care about their remaining consumers? From poorly remastered music to no booklets in films what is going on? Why is there such a…

Bose Amplifier
Hi, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post a 'for sale' thread - are we allowed to do so? Or is this against the rules? If so, where would be the best place online to sell an amplifier that I don't use much. Many thanks for your help in advance! Jay

Anyone used Thomann?
Want to buy an instrument (trumpet) for my son. I knew the brand and when I googled it came up with Thomann.de. As far as I can see, they look really good and reliable, but just thought I'd see if anyone from MSE had experience of them before I take the plunge?
Emusic.com
Is this site trustworthy? Are there any better competitors in terms of value? I know their choice is more eclectic, but i'm not interested in chart music at all. I don't care for Itunes nor Amazon because their prices are ridiculous for mp3 downloads.
Signed CD's pre release
First post! I was wondering with play.com ceasing all new sales of cd's there pre release signed items have stopped being available. I was wondering if anyone know of any other websites who offer, or have started offering this for pre sale cd's. Thanks AP

How to learn guitar quickly and cheaply?
I have decided I want to learn to play guitar. I'm fairly musical anyway, and before my daughter was born I was taking piano lessons, but now I have her it is very hard for me to go to weekly lessons as well as practice, as it is too noisy to do while she's asleep and when she's awake she wants to join in! I got up to…
