Music shop

Music Shops are a great place to find anything music related you need. A record shop is an outlet that sells recorded music. Although vinyl records and audio cassettes are no longer sold in the majority of music stores, in favor of compact discs, people still use the term "record shop", in conjunction with "CD shop" or "music shop".

Music Shops can contain music stands, music, musical instruments and much more. Originally record shops were private run and independent businesses, meaning that prices could differ greatly from town to town, store to store. Today music shops are largely chain owned and thus prices are fairly similar regardless of the wealth of the town.

Music Shops are a great place to find a gift for people of all ages. Around the world, the traditional record stores (chain or independent) are currently suffering from mail order (most notably on the Internet), as well as supermarkets selling recorded music, and digital downloads. Because of this, several major chains in the UK and North America have closed or shrunk in recent years.
