Record industry bitching again...
Fett101:
And then publishers can go after public libraries. Think of the fine for decades of illegal activities!
SpeeDFreaK:
Maybe it's the way music is thought of by the people who control it's release. Just ask they guy who runs half of the radio stations in the United States.

We still have a few, Metal Mayhem, Central Station Records, that funny basement place in Garema Place etcetera. Of course we do have the chains like Sanity as well...
Does anyone else still have record stores that know how to classify non pop songs? In sanity you tend to get Kylie Minogue in the dance section (cough cough) and bands like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in the "metal" section... Oh and Nelly belongs in rap apparently. Probably just one of the reasons why Sanity music stores are abandoning the old scheme and just classifying music as "core" and "non core" (pop and not pop.) Plus it probably confuses the blonde/jock customers too much to see lots of "non pop" stands. :D
suselinux:
Who else has a Virgin mega store near by?
We have one in Vancouver right downtown but I don't know how popular they are
NM:
Its strange but the Tower near my house is not bad, still sells LPs and loads of local music. Then again its the first one and is completely different than any other chain music store I've ever been in. If they'd followed this model, they might not havbe been broke.
In general when I buy music, i dl the entire CD, make sure I like it and then buy a used copy if at all possible.
Oh, and virgin sucks, nothing but pop trash
