I know their selling CDs will not work very well for them since I do the same thing over the net, except I don't sell any U.S. CDs.
CDs are absolutely commodity business, anyone can do it.
And there are already many competitions even in the Net.
Even physical store, like the "wherehouse" went bankrupt.

Let me explain why buying CDs will not make any senses at all, except those of who don't like to shop , no times to shop, or other reasons.

Just assume that we are trying to one "Van helen" latest CD
AMZN will charge about $11.99-14.99 + $3 S&H = $15-19
when other Internet sellers do the same.
Also when Wal-mart, K-mart and other discounters, sell it at $11.99+tax
when blockbuster music and town records sell it at $11.99 +tax

Can you see why I didn't buy "back street boys" and "Titanic soundtrack" over the net, and just went to buy it from blockbuster music?
