$10.00 a cd is still too much.Half the cd's that come out these days are less then 40 minutes long and one good song..You can buy a 50 pack of cdr's for less then 10 bucks.Hmmm not too hard to figure this one out.The music industry dug their own hole,now they should laydown.

I agree.
$10 is much better and starting to get more like it but it is still too high.

most modern music is trash, anyway. seems you almost have to go underground to find any artists with talent or a true drive.

since the last half of 90's I have started to like J pop alot more...even the engerigh sounds better than the new wave of poor ass music that has degraded all grenes of US music..I am a country fan BTW and look at what country has become...its all rather disgusting...posh and fake....

i find myself clinging to deeper and darker metal, as it seems that's near the only genre left where musicians still do most of their own work and aren't just lip-syncing, cookie cutter song-buying stereotypes.

I don't care if Wallyworld sells Cd's for 5$, I'm not setting foot in a store that sells 75% Chinese products. Besides nobody goes there anymore anyway. It's too crowded!

The corporate mogals in the music industry and in Hollywood should realise that $1 in the till is better than $0 in it.

Walmart sucks in every way possible, I would much rather pay more for a CD than ever even consider buying it from Wally World. I can't believe we are all willing to let such a sleezy store take over the world just because we save a few pennies. Walmart is killing small down business all over the globe, how is that okay...with anyone?

$10 is what a CD should sell for. The price has been steadily going up over the last 20 some years. Everything else in electronics goes down in price over time. DVD players, big screen TVs - the price drops dramatically after a few years. $19.98 for a CD? No wonder sales have dropped! You tell 'em Wal-Mart!!

So how long do you think until RIAA attacks WM for "doing more damage to the recording industry than pirates ever could"?

How can anyone blame Wal-Mart. Its the consumer who goes into Wal-Mart and spends money. If everyone who keeps blaming Wal-Mart would actually stop going there to purchase other things besides CD's maybe Wal-Mart wouldnt be so popular. In any case I will still go there to purchase my groceries.
I dont hear anyone bit*hing about Home Depot, or Lowes putting local hardware stores out of business. We live in such a double standard society.

@brucezx11
I'll jump on that bandwagon...I hate all of the the giants, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Kohls, and all the big chain restaurants. All of them ruin small business everywhere, and quite frankly make visiting and moving to new places boring. Nothing is different from one city to the next...other than climate and landscape...Sorry to get off the subject, but you brought it up.
As long as we continue to be patrons at these places, their world domination thrives, our choices diminish, and prices stay fixed or go up due to of lack of competition. Okay, I need to stop now, I could go on forever!

One more reason to love Walmart. Good Philosophy
Walmart is Awesome. Everyone I know loves them, too.
I just wish I had one closer to me.
Soon they will, and life will be perfect.
Viva la Walmart.

As evil as wlamart is it can adjust prices better becuse its on the front line this is great for persciptions and mabye for music and a few other things but the down side is whore marts everywhere with the added joy of when it leaves areas or small tons it snot going to be pretty when tis the only food/med store in the aera 0_o

Some pretty varied comments here! For the most part I like Walmart, I will not comment on there employee rights etc as I have never worked for them. Personally I rarely buy any music at all because I simply do not like most of what is out there! This I think is because I am not a native of this country so what I used to like at home is very hard to get here if at all! I have a varied taste in music but as a general rule I do not like whats out there. I do not want to listen to "music" where I cannot understand whats being said, every other word is an expletive or bands that ride on the coatails of others by covering there music. Its about time that the prices of cd dropped the record co's have had it there own way for far too long.
As to a remark about Home Depot & Lowes etc not caring who they put out of buisness, I think u are right, they don't give a rats ass. We have both nearby and at least two other stores have closed and the Lowes has not been open six months yet! Having been in both I would add that there service sucks, neither have enough bodies on the floor and certainly many do not know there ass from there elbow! Hardly good for customer service but to bring the thread somewhat back on track its all about the big buck and nothing else!

Walmart is not "evil" just One sided
Good
can recreate nation wide pricing for drugs and other items.
Is everywhere.
Huge employer nation wide.
Bad
Sells to much crap from china.
Hurts small local Stores .
when it leaves a community and tis the only "store" its nto a pretty sight.
Dosent have lower prices on non china goods.
Suxy benefits for employees .
Walmart is a mixed bag they almost help as much as they hurt,but thats alot like any other corporation.

Except in the US Wal Mart is the No 1 retailer so whatever Wal Mart does other businesses have to do the same or go out of business.
Spellcheck is a nice invention.
Using BitVomit hurts the swarm your in, get a decent client.

Face it, we live in a competitive market. Places like Walmart are inevitable. There will be no little man in certain industries anymore. The solution, dont blame walmart, create your own product that walmart does not sell and create your own market. Get with the times. Gas prices are high and one stop shopping is here whether you like it or not. Embrace the future. And if walmart employees dont like their pay, they can always unionize. But you can cry and moan all you want, truth is... Walmart has more consumers everyday and is growing. The only problem with walmart is that there needs to be more of them to accomadate the masses. Quit your whining and get a job.

@TazmanYo
Don't have a job, don't need a job, don't want a job. First of all, if it were as simple as creating a unique product with our own market, everyone would be doing it. Secondly, even if you are lucky enough to come up with something, they would want to carry it, and if you didn't bend to their every whim, they would develop a competing product, and put you out of business, if you did sell out to them, then they rule even your personal world....see the problem??? If you don't, then maybe you need glasses.
