I belonged to BMG for a few years and was generally satisifed with them.
Over the course of three years I had to call twice to get some CDs sent
after it didn't show up for six weeks and the bill did, but after prodding
they sent them out.

On the bad 'save the Earth' side, I have lost track of the number of
magazine and sweepstakes mailing lists BMG sold my name to.  How did I
know they did it?  I used a fake middle initial when I signed up with them
and within a month started getting other mailings with the new name.  In
all, I now probably get 15-20 multi-page junk mailers a month.  Though
some of it is interesting, most is trash.  I guess that's what you get for
buying mail order...
