Music Stores
From LoveToKnow Music
There are a number of online music stores that make buying music CDs and mp3s easy and inexpensive.
Music Stores - Online and Offline
Most major music stores you can find in your area have online counterparts that offer the same selection of music. The only drawback is you'll pay shipping costs and will have to wait several days to over a week for your music to arrive. To skip the shipping and get your music today, just look for a store locator link at your major music store site.
Finding Music Stores Near You
Nothing beats walking into a music store in your home town and browsing through hundreds of CDs. The atmosphere, the new songs playing in the background, and the great prices. Most big chain music stores such as Sam Goody are easily located through online sites. But if you want something a little cozier, all you have to do is hit up your favorite search engine with the phrase "music store (your town)", adding your town name or zip code in place of the parenthesis. You'll get phone numbers and addresses of the music stores in your area that are just a drive away.
Buying Music Online
It's often more convenient to purchase CDs through reliable retailers on the internet. You can take advantage of great sales or even buy used CDs from people around the world. The internet also has the added bonus of purchasing digital music through music stores such as iTunes or Napster, services that allow you to download individual songs to play on your PC, burn onto CDs, or put on your digital music player.
Below you will find some of LoveToKnow Music's visitors favorite sources for buying music online.
