I probably could've been nicer about my response, too. Sorry about that. I just wanted to indicate that I haven't had any problems with Amazon's search functions in the past. (I never did much browsing at either CDNow or Amazon, so I can't comment there.) Judging from other posts, your experience is probably more common than mine.
Re: musical taste -- there are a few people whose taste I respect enough that I'm curious to know what they think of mine. They may suggest other stuff I might like (like the aforementioned New Pornographers CD, which was the last CD I bought from Amazon). They might challenge some of my choices, which might make me re-evaluate them (like Avril Lavigne's CD, which I think is surprisingly solid). However, I wouldn't make changes just to fit in with them. I'm 31, so I've felt this way for about a year now. ^_^
And yes, I could probably get the page fixed. However, the last (and first) e-commerce site I made had a nasty bug where it assumed your credit card's approval number would actually be a number. (I blame the merchant system's API.)
Sorry you couldn't figure out Amazon's highly complex search feature:
1) Go to cdnow.com 2) Select "Music" in the search box 3) Type in the über-trendy album or artist you want to impress your friends by owning (e.g., "Mass Romantic") 4) Hit enter/return 5)... 6) Profit!! (well, for Amazon at least)
