Discover Music CD Club Tips And Facts About Joining A Music Club.

Music CD and DVD clubs are a cheap way to get your favorite music and DVD's delivered directly to your door.

But many people hesitate to join these types of clubs because they have found the membership club details confusing. If that sounds like you, then you can relax.

I've researched for you the confusing details of music CD clubs, and I outlined below exactly what to expect when you join a music and dvd club, like the popular Columbiahouse.com.

How do music CD clubs work?

Music CD clubs make it easy for you to get started quickly. For, example the Columbia House, music CD club gives 12 free music CDs when you join (you pay only for shipping and processing).

After selecting your 12 music CDs, you'll be directed to a page where you can "review" you're selections and make any changes you need to. This is also where you'll see the total Shipping & Processing charges for your 12 free music CDs.

If your music CD selection is OK, click "signup" to enter your personal information. The one-page application is quick and easy and lets the music club know where to deliver your music CDs too! Important note: You must be at least 18 years old.

And, lastly after you've entered your personal information and have read and understood the terms of membership, simply click "submit". Within one week, you'll get an email from columbia house letting you know whether or not your membership application has been approved.

What's the catch of joining a music club?

Here are the details of exactly how the Columbia House music and dvd club works:

After you've signed up for the 12 free music CDs (paying $2.59 each shipping and processing) and deciding if you want a "bonus unit" for only $5.99 (plus $2.59 shipping & processing), you'll need to buy five more CDs at regular Club prices in the next 2 years. Note: As of writing this article, the current music CD rate at columbia house was as low as $14.98 plus shipping and processing. And, after purchasing your five CDs in 2 years, you may cancel your membership anytime.

Columbia House will send you a Music Magazine every few weeks with a description of their current music CD offer. Now, here's where it gets a little confusing, if you DO want the music CD selection of the month, you should DO NOTHING and it will be shipped automatically.

If you want a different CD selection, or none at all, you must return the response card to columbia house by the date specified. Or if you prefer, you can go online and decline the Selection of the Month at the web.

Tip: You'll always have at least 10 days to decide if you want the music selection of the month.

Are Music CDs from Columbia House as good as the ones from a store?

Yes. Columbia house music CDs are manufactured, factory-sealed, and guaranteed just the same as those you'd buy in a store.

How much music can I choose from?

Music clubs offer a huge music selection for you to choose from. For example, at Columbia House you can browse hundreds of music CD "Bestsellers" in a variety of categories, including:

• Alternative
• Classical
• Country
• Dance
• Jazz/Blues
• Latin
• R&B
• Rap
• Rock
• Soft Rock/Pop

And, at the Columbiahouse site you can listen to music samples to help make your music CD selections easier.

To Sum Up...

Music clubs provide a great opportunity to get music CDs quickly and with very little hassle. But, always take the time to read the specific club details to know exactly what you'll be responsible for "down the road".

DVD and Music CD clubs, like Columbia House, are one way you can get music CDs and for much cheaper than what you'd pay in a store.
