my solution to this
After bringing home many melons that I tapped for the hollow sounds and being sooooo disappointed, I asked the guy at the produce stand what he does. His response "Look for the melon whose bottom is the yellowish....that means it was on the vine the longest and is the ripest!!!" So far haven't had any bad ones! Thought I'd share

spot on the bottom
I always look at the spot on the bottom. When they sound hallow they are over ripe and starting to come apart inside.
