Best Buy to Pull CDs, Target Threatens to Pay Labels for CDs Only When Customers Buy Them

"With the popularity of digital music surging, Best Buy is officially pulling the plug on music CDs, and another retail giant may soon join them. Although CDs remain a relatively popular format worldwide, sales in the U.S. dropped more than 18% last year, prompting Best Buy to drop the format entirely".

Ditto for target. +1 for Amazon. There is also a used CD Market. Most cities have a music store similar to Dimple Records where you can purchase used music CD's. There's also Amoeba records. If anything, BestBuy and Target are most likely finding it difficult to compete with Amazon on price and the convenience of shopping online.

I just won at auction (Amoeba) three nice CD's: REM Document ($.68!), Miles Davis Around The World ($1.81) and The Replacements Tim ($4). Shipping was $5.75 from LA to Florida. Done from the convenience of home with my smartphone!
