When I bought my drum set, nobody wanted to send it to Puerto Rico, Musician's Friend, 123, etc. every body had a different excuse. Sam Ash was the only one that sent it with no problems. They made a mistake in the bill and gave me a credit without even asking. The only thing that I don't like is that, they know I play drums, they know I bought them a set, still send me just guitars offers, smh. SGT (Join to see)

That's awesome. I never thought SamAsh would have a one-up over the others you mentioned.

SGT (Join to see) the reason why I say the other companies gave me "excuses" is because what they were saying didn't make any sense and SamAsh was the only one straight. The drum set was +70lbs, divided in several boxes, Musician's told me that they couldn't ship anything above +70 which was true and false. Well, I got my set and I loved it the time I got it.

That's an awesome reason to support SamAsh. Unfortunately, I've only seen one store. Guitar Center is always close by. Have you submitted a testimonial to them?

I try to do business with local merchants first but I'll go through Guitar Center or Musicians Friend if that fails.

I like browsing the "Refurb" section in Guitar Center and Musician's Friend.

Musician's Friend has been for a while, but Sweetwater is looking good too.

And you just look and go "okay." Nothing wrong with that. I'm TRYING to get more technical, but I got a long way to go. Have you seen my IT questions? I pretty much say "what this is?" and learn from the responses. That makes learning fun for me.

This site has a lot of used gear. I like that. It's great seeing old busted up gear with great sounds or abilities.

If you need music (hard copy format): For Your Entertainment (FYE) has a lot of selections of CDs and I even have seen Vinyls.

If you need software or equipment, I am not yet knowledgeable of where to go. I'm just getting seriously started. I am enrolling in school with a hopeful start date of SEP 28.

When using iTunes, I had to use Amazon sometimes to get music iTunes wouldn't have.

I don't do any CD shopping, even though I might get into it again soon as I start making more money. So my go-to for music in general is Rhapsody, where I pay a monthly fee for unlimited song downloads. It's pretty awesome.

I've never used any of those such apps. TuneIn is free streaming.

SGT (Join to see) - They're actually real nice. I used to use Music Unlimited but that was shut down recently, so I went to Rhapsody and it's essentially the same thing. And so TuneIn is basically another Pandora? Or no?

TuneIn just plays music in a genre or playlist you choose. I don't think it has any cool algorithms based on what songs you like.
