This just in: WALLINGFORD, Conn., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- CD Universe has been named the best music retailer on the Internet by Briefing.com, a leading provider of live market commentary on the Internet. The report, released today, placed CD Universe above Music Boulevard (NTKI), CD Now (CDNW), Amazon.com (AMZN) (a recent entry into the crowded online music field), and CD World. "We are extremely pleased by Briefing.com's recognition of CD Universe," said Charles Beilman, president of CD Universe. "It confirms what our customers have been telling us over and over -- that CD Universe is their preferred online music store." The report rated the sites on price, search engine capability, site content (reviews, audio clips) and ease of use. "Quote from article here," the report said. Launched in April 1996, CD Universe is a privately held business. Unlike the large, highly visible publicly traded companies, which operate at substantial losses, CD Universe operates at "a modest profit," according to Beilman. CD Universe cduniverse.com has more than 200,000 items available for worldwide delivery. Its catalog features domestic and import CDs, cassette tapes, videos, DVDs and laser discs. Customers can browse by genre; search by artists, title, song, soundtrack or label; read album reviews, check track listings, view cover art and listen to sound clips before they buy. Other features include a free customizable music newsletter and tributes to music artists, events and awards. The company stresses customer service, easy site navigation and low prices. CD Universe is located at 101 North Plains Industrial Road, Wallingford, CT 06492. Its Web address is: cduniverse.com.
