Any suggestions on where to find a list of the largest retailers and
wholesalers of (music) CDs? I've contacted the National Association of
Recording Merchandisers, which told me to call Hits Magazine. They have a
list, but the list includes retail sales of tapes and records as well as
CDs. The Recording Academy forwarded me to the Recording Industry
Association of America, which I'd already called. They haven't answered. A
L/N database (RDS) lists the top four music retailers. And I found a report
on ibis.com for $425 that lists music retailer information, including major
players, but the attorney doesn't think that is going to be what he wants.
None of these lists are specific to CDs. There was also a recent suit
settled between state Attorneys General and music distributors and retailers
about CD price fixing that names specific companies.
I gave the attorney my report as far as I'd gotten and he said he now also
wants a list of largerst CD wholesalers.
I've about searched everything I can think of. Suggestions are greatly
appreciated where I should look next.
