Re: Vendors for Music CDs

[Jean Barger <jbarger at cnu dot edu>]

I am also very interested  in the response to this question.  Please 
share any comments with the list. We are beginning to purchase more CDs 
and would also appreciate any information or recommendations on 
vendors.  We are now using Baker and Taylor and ArkivMusic LLC.  Thanks -
