When I'm too lazy to illegally download music from the net, I might buy these, though I only have three. I'll buy them if I don't already have most of the songs included. I just bought Now 15 mainly because Of No Doubt's It's My Life, Britney's Toxic, Fefe Dobson's Everything, Three Days Grace Everything About You and Nick Cannon's Gigolo. I bought Now 3 because of a Britney song too. Now 2--I bought because it had "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and "Millennium" by Robbie Williams, among others.

I LOVE that song. If there's one album to buy, it's definantly "The Buzz." It has the greatest rock songs of the 90's. I listen to that thing over and over again just cause it brings back so many memmories.

As for the NOW CD's, I don't really buy them, because most of the songs they put on there end up so overplayed that I get sick of them. I instead download the songs I really like, add a few more from different NOW's, and make my own NOW CD - without all the extra stuff I never listen to.

I did buy the first 2, that was pre-Napster though, plus I've gotten less and less interested in top 40 music since then. I usually only like maybe 3-4 songs per compilation nowadays, and usually I already have them on cd

Another thing that sucks is that places don't like to buy the NOW cd's, In May 2000, I took Now 1 and Now 2, as well as Totally Hits... to sell to a used place, and they wouldn't take it because they don't accept various artists collections.

So since then, I've sworn off those types of cd's

Instead of blaming file-sharing companies like Kazaa and Napster for poor record sales, the record companies should stop providing their songs to this terrible collection.

If these Now compilations were around when I was in high school, I'd be snapping them all up, since I was heavy into top 40 back then. Types of music I listen to have narrowed since then, so now it's a case of getting stuff that I know I probably wouldn't buy otherwise. I don't think it's such a terrible collection.

so people can spend too much money on a cd with one good song again? I don't buy the NOW cd's, but they suffice as great time capsules. Some artists that I don't want a whole studio album of (like Britney), that I will wait for a GH album from... I'll have to wait awhile, whereas I can buy Toxic or I'm A Slave 4 U or whatever on one of these Now cd's, and not have to deal with all the filler tracks as well

NOPE NEVER BOUGHT INTO THAT CRAP. I DON'T LIKE ANY MUSIC NOW NEWAYZ. THEY DON'T PUT HARDCORE ON THERE LIKE AVRIL OR ANYTHING SO NO.

THOSE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED A LONG TIME AGO.

when the record companies can come up with a better plan than 99 cents per song (I propose a flat-rate monthly service type of service), then downloading can be attacked, but 99 cents is way too much for a measly mp3. Who wants to pay $9.95 for audio files of a full album when you can get the same cd on sale at Best Buy for the same price, and unlike mp3's, if you get tired of a cd you paid for, you can sell or trade it. I don't know any music shops who actually take mp3's

My son has Now 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 10. But he hardly ever listens to them anymore.

Have they stopped making the Now CDs? I have at least 6 or 7 of them!!! But there hasn't been a recent one out has there???
