Amoeba Music

Ahhhh, I can spend HOURS here browsing and searching for new old/used music! It's a great way to recycle your old stuff and get a buck or two for it! Then, you can spend the next few hours finding the perfect new album/cd to buy! Not only do they have music but movies too! And the good kind! I was able to find an obscure DVD here that someone had been looking for for a while! Score!!

I am spoiled living in San Francisco with the little shops I tend to take for granted. Last weekend, I finally came across a record store that allowed me to trade in my CDs I'm bored with, and walk out with credit to buy more stuff in the future. Cool and highly recommended. So much better than the overpriced book stores, and so on.

Amoeba is known for their huge selection and they don't disappoint in that respect. Few of the titles are really incredibly rare things, th...

I don't know if Amoeba is an independent record store, small chain or something else but it feels very non-corporate and has a great election whether it's used out of print Jazz or the most esoteric contemporary stuff.

This is the greatest music store I've ever been in.  There's an unbelievable selection of music here - you can find just about anything, even the most obscure local band.  I've never walked out of Amoeba empty handed. They also have tons of free live shows here - I saw Spoon here for free a little while back - a band that sells out some fairly big venues.  Amoeba is a San Francisco landmark.  I hope it survives the digitalization of music.

Get anything you want in this place. Some used cd's are as little as a dollar, and I'm not talking about singles from some nobody, they've got John Cougar Mellencamp cd's for a dollar, with scratches on the front but guaranteed to play. You walk in and it's basically one giant room, sort of flee marketish but organized.

In Short Born from a bowling alley, this music lover's haven houses tens of thousands of recordings--pop, jazz, lounge and indie releases, along with meaty selections from virtually every other genre known to man.

I came to this record store after hearing much hype and going to the Hollywood location. It did indeed live up to the hype as I found a rare cd that is almost impossible to find (even on the internet). The prices here are also ace! Aside from all the trendloving humanoids that clutter it up. This place rightfully deserves the name "CD Valhalla". Amoeba is the only good record shop left! I just want to give a big farfenoogin to Tower, Virgin, and the Wherehouse! You moneygrubbing basteeds!!!!! Alleviate the stress on your wallet people and shop at Amoeba!!!

Amoeba is the best music store I have ever seen. They have the greatest selection of used CDs anywhere. You can find almost anything here. And if you can't, come back in a week and it will be there. The only problem is that their used DVDs are a bit pricey. You may as well buy a new DVD if the used are so high priced.

I have shopped for records on four continents and have never NEVER found a better selection or value than at Amoeba.

if it's rare, out-of-print or too indie to imagine, then it'll be at amoeba. while theirelectronicasection and staff seem bewildered and are not well-versed in that genre, this is more than made up for when you begin the great exploration. if you have time, say hi to tom, in the buying section -- he's one of amoeba's best hidden secrets.

THE BEST CD DEALS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO, I'LL SHOP FOR CD'S NO WHERE ELSE. THERE THE BEST

Amoeba is absolutely the best place to whet your musical appetite. From the latest in music to golden oldies, if you can't find it here, chances are, you can't find it anywhere!

My husband and I recently bought 28 cd's there, about 18 of them were used. I was a skeptical about the quality and was pleasantly surprised to find the cd's were in mint condition. Seriously, it looked like they had been opened but never played. And you can't beat their prices. Their staff is very knowledgable, and their computer system is very well updated to let you know how many copies are available and where they are located. Furthermore, you can give them just the smallest amount of information and they can find what you're looking for. Great experience and I would go back anytime.
