Thread Name: Camsco vs: CDNow
Subject: RE: Camsco vs: CDNow
For those of you who say that Camsco sells the kind of music that companies like CDNow don't care about and won't sell, I just did a little comparison based on the CDs I purchased this summer at folk festivals.

I went to three folk festivals. Old Songs, Champlain and Philly. In total, I purchased 17 CDs. All of them are from either small folk companies or put out by the performers themselves. They were all either traditional folk CDs or singers like Bill Staines and Eric Bogle who are very folkie.

First, I searched the Camsco website. They had 3 out of the 17. I then searched the CDNow website and they had all 17, including the six Folk Legacy CDs that I bought directly from Caroline Paton.

If you want a good choice of traditional folk music. CDNow is much better than Camsco.
