To complete the test I went to a local discount store for a price comparison, I couldn't find any of the CDs. It would have been a wasted trip if it was for real. I received my CDs in about a week. They don't charge sales tax. In addition, Music Boulevard has a volume discount service where you get credit for a CD after buying 10 CDs.
Internet security seems to remain a concern for many people although reliable security does exist.
Netscape 3.0 and others have the ability to encrypt transactions. Using older browsers you need to use the unsecured mode. Then you need to decide upon the odds of someone finding your transaction and account number. The system was easy to use, has good security features, and seems to work well. A good service if you have the need.
