Well, I went back and forth on this, and finally took the plunge. The inventory is not as large or diverse as I would like, but as there is a complete an exhaustive discography for some artists (Paul Simon, Led Zepplin) and an absolute dearth for others (Donovan, Bob Dylan), I believe they are in the process of building up the service.
Think of it like Netflix, but instead of DVDs it's music CDs. And instead of renting, you're buying. You create a queue, and they automatically send you a disc once a month for-get this-$5.99 including shipping. It's nuts. Like I said, the selection does not afford you the opportunity to experiment with truly independent artists and other such obscure fare, but as long as there are albums in the mainstream realm you still want, it's a deal that seems to be absolutely unbeatable. The way I'm going to work it (using my one new album-per-paycheck system) is to let them ship me the next album in my queue each month, and experiment with artists not available through yourmusic on the off-week cycle.
My current queue:
Paul Simon Hearts And Bones (Expanded & Remastered)
This album is being prepared for shipment. ( In-stock items usually ship within 72 hours of Your Music Date. )
The Who Tommy (Remastered)
09/29/05
Willie Nelson Yesterday's Wine (Remastered)
10/29/05
Beck Odelay
11/29/05
Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy (Remastered)
12/29/05
Paul Simon One Trick Pony (Expanded & Remastered)
01/29/06
Willie Nelson Shotgun Willie
Anyway, happy to make a recommendation on what seems to be a great deal. Check it out.

You will certainly be my Willie Nelson connection, should I ever require one.
Yeah-just think, six months from now I'll own 5% of his discography.
Finally getting Odelay. Glad to see that.
I think they have a decent alt-country/roots rock selection (Ryan Adams, Wilco, The Jayhawks etc.). Also a decent Jazz selection.

Looks like you joined a few days ago. Was it my originally mentioning it, or did you discover it on your own?
Looked at The Jayhawks, actually. Looked like they only had 1 recent album (the one that just shipped for you) and 1 greatest hits.
actually we signed up about four months ago...
