Best Online Music Retailers

OK, I did a quick search and could not find a thread on Agon dedicated to this topic, so apologies if this is a rehash. What are your favorite online music retailers and why? Best for physical media - records, CD's, XR and Gold CD's, SACD's and music videos? Best for Downloads? Very curious where others get their music online. Not interested in hearing about garage sales and brick and morter stores here - that is for another thread.

I find Google out performs Goggle every time for web searches. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Back to the topic... My favorites are the most obvious.
Half.com for used cds.
Amazon.com for new and used cds.
My experience with both is very positive.

I've had good luck w/ http://www.secondspin.com - all used CDs, DVDs, and games.

They often have specials (announced via email) of 25% to 40% off and sometimes the added bonus of $1 shipping per item. They do a good job of cataloging different versions (e.g., remaster, deluxe edition, CD+DVD edition, etc.).

I like http://www.amazon.com, too.

Any particular favorites for purchasing and downloading lossless wav or flac files of popular artists? Most of the sites I've found offering lossless have a limited selection of fairly obscure, though sometimes good, artists. Thanks.
