You betcha, that's why the marketing team is looking at other venues, TSIG is not a Johnny One Note like CDNW. There's more in this world than CDs. Your analysis is very good. Best, Joe.

Shipping was $5 when I ordered, so TSIG and CDNW have the same prices. If you ordered a 40 unit card then, TSIG would win. TSIG is not going to have to spend mutli-millions on marketing like CDNW. Check out CDNW, they are losing money big time because of the costs of marketing. TSIG will sell the card and the cardholders will buy CDs. Not a bad marketing idea when you consider the money that they are saving from not doing broad advertising. If you don't like TSIG, sell your shares and stop crying to the thread.

Here in town there is Best Buy where one can get most CDs for $4 less than Borders Books which is across street. Yet Borders still does well selling CDs. I don't feel the CD price difference is that great between TSIG and CDNW. I think TSIG is still early enough in the game to be a close competitor.

AJ, the light just went on, you rascal. You put out a provocative post, get everybody's juices flowing and we wind up doing your DD for you. AJ, you're a user. The vast majority of the folks on this thread are givers. AJ, it is about time you got off your keister and did your own DD. Think you're up to it Best, Joe

Your comparison is severely flawed and obviously self-serving. Your example makes you a bold faced liar and quite frankly is welcomed so as to show you for what you are. Best excuse you might hope for is that you need to find another MD that will adjust your medication. Worst excuse is that you've been to the Philander Smith College of Ethics, in Little Rock AK. Actually you probably have a lot in common with that other liar we have to deal with on a daily basis. I think he was one of the original students for that course. He may have even written the course of study syllabus. (Fitting name though, Philander..., shame they missed the last 2 letters Philander...ER!) philander.edu

AJ, With all due respect, I believe you have a baseless serious hatred for this co. I don't know what they have done to you, but you seem to have been badly wounded. They always say never leave a wounded beast behind, find it and finish it. I think your end has come. The final success of tsig will finish you once and for all. Mark my word. Your days on this thread as a basher are numbered. Make the best of it now. I can understand arguing within reason, but you make no sense other than showing your jealousy. If you are mm's tool, I pity you. peace and good luck. Peacelover

Here is a REAL Comparison... (Repost) INTERNET MUSIC RETAILERS Price Comparisons Adore by The Smashing Pumpkins /CD tunes.com cdnow musicblvd amazon TSIG $15.79 $14.99 $12.88 $12.58 $10.99* S & H 1st CD $2.99 $2.99 $2.49 $2.00 $2.00 2nd CD $1.00 $1.00 $.49 $.95 $1.00 Audio Previews YES YES YES YES YES Chat Rooms NO NO YES NO YES Buying Options Other Than Just the Internet NO NO NO NO YES *Price based on being a MusicCardTM holder. IMO, the phone ordering is excellent for people who don't have access to a PC, or... are afraid to send credit card info over the net, even though the site has a secure order form. Their shipping charges for the first CD are the same as amazon, and .99 CHEAPER than tunes & cdnow, and .49 cheaper than music blvd. On the second CD, they are the same as tunes and cdnow, only .05 more than amazon, and only .02 more than if you order a second CD from music blvd. pretty competitive. They are only 1 out of 2 who have chat rooms. Now, here is the best part. Even though you have to purchase a music card to get the discount, the purchase of the music card is well worthit, here is why. Purchasing 10 CDs from tunes.com -vs- Compact Connection: Tunes.com Compact Connection 10 CDs@ $15.79= $157.90 10 CDs@10.99=$109.90 + price of music card= 9.99 Total= $157.90 Total=$119.89 S + H=$11.99 S + H=$11.00 Bought at Tunes.com Grand Total=$169.89 Bought at TSIG Grand Total=$130.89 That is a savings of around 23%. Any questions?

Ordering options comparison "Compact Connection is the ONLY Internet music retailer that accommodates everyone's individual purchase options." Comp.Conn. CD Now Tunes.com Music Blvd Amazon Telephone YES NO NO NO NO Orders Mail orders YES YES YES YES YES Fax orders YES YES YES YES YES Compact Connection is the ONLY one that let's you order by telephone, without first submitting your order via the internet. With CD Now, you have to order on the net, then call and give your credit card information (2 steps). Music Boulevard, same 2-step process as CD Now Tunes.com: "Sorry, but we can not take your order over the phone. " Amazon, same 2-step process as CD Now I commend CCI for broadening the options of their customers, after all, their customers who are the ones you have to satisfy. They are also the only online music retailer who offers the " MusicCard ", which IMO, will hook them up with several big players and greatly help to advertise, as well as bring in revenue. One last thought... The Compact Connection website is not the only thing TSIG is working on, they have the latest in call center technology, and they will put this massive equipment to use in several ways, to use it to its full potential, selling CDs is just the beginning... Good Luck to all!

There will be those who believe in TSIG and those who don't. That is what makes the market. Ultimately, it will be whether the company delivers that determines who is right and who is wrong. What bothers me about this thread is that when someone posts a negative view of TSIG, they are viciously attacked with statements like "So, sell your shares and leave us alone" or "Now we know your agenda." Clearly, relentless cheerleading has not driven the price of this stock up. In fact, extreme bullishness is often a sign to sell. In my humble opinion, this thread would be much better served by a balance in views.
