Just wondering if you're getting the quality recordings of new releases when you order them from places such as Columbia House?
A while back I ordered the "City of Angels" soundtrack which was suppose to be HDCD encoded but never really was.

    Anyone satisfied with their clubhouse cd's?
    Just wondering if you're getting the same recording of a clubhouse cd as compared to going out and buying it yourself?

    They are exactly the same as "normal" CDs and DVDs. There is no difference except in the printing of the labels, which are imprinted with "Manufactured Under License from Columbia House" (or "BMG Music" or which ever club you're in).

    Go to the SOFTWARE area of The Home Theater Forum and search "Columbia House" and you're sure to find something about this.

    I agree with Micah, I belong to BMG Jazz Club and each time I get a order they send me a thank you get a selection for $5.99 Most
    of my CDs are purchased this way. Sound fine for $8.78 shipping
    included.
