I was curious if a majority of you buy music online or in the stores.  I know a lot of the cd's that are discussed on this site aren't known by a majority of the public and thus are harder to find.  But just a reference so I know where to find things easier.  If you go to a particular store such as fye or borders/barnes and noble, that would be appreciated.

 by the way you can still find a lot of hard to get stuff but not in the most popular stores, mainly the good stuffs hidden in other stores in the out scerts of shoping centers

I usually shop around the mall, best buy, or local used music shops.

I've only gotten something online once..but I'm having a harder time finding stuff. I can't find any King Crimson anywhere. Not even the brand new re-release of Red. I'll probably have to start doing some online buying.

wooden nickel, a local or national record store that sells a lot of 70's prog like gentle giant, yes, zappa and such and some neo-prog and prog-metal.

The record stores around here don't have much of the music I like, so I have to buy most of it on line.  I try to buy right from the band so they get more of the money.

I get all mine in shops, you know the usual sort of mass marketed ones like HMV, musicworld

Except there is a great one, which im still discovering called BIG JOHNS, its one of those nice privately owned one. I like it coz they say when they think something is crap ie - the toilet in the corner with "sh*t tapes" in it, or the poster on the floor telling you to wipe your feet on it of rappers, popstars (last time i went it was xzibit who does "pimp my ride"), and I LOVE that the rap section is about the length on my arms wide open (not even)

A good majority of the records I own I have purchased from a small, local store. They have atleast five thousand vinyl records all over the place so I just search through them and find stuff I like or have heard good things about. Many good King Crimson, Genesis and Yes finds. All on vinyl and most in excellent condition. Besides that I usually burn it if it is very hard to find or buy it on CD if it is more popular.
