Not worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

this is one of the greatest music shops i can think of…just plan on spending more than a few minutes looking! This was somewhere we could have spent hours and unfortunately every time I go I tend to only have a little bit of time.

So many..

Just walking in was insane. There were uncountable rows of CDs everywhere, sorted into genre, and the dollar CD section. I spent all my 5 dollars on CDs, but a friend bought a nice hoodie.
Great place for music lovers.

Go. Even if you think you don't want to.

Even people who consider themselves non-musical people walk out of this place with a stack of something. Why? Because Amoeba has EVERYTHING. The used prices are great, the selection is mind-boggling.

The only down points of the place are the sometimes snotty checkout people, and that ominous clack-clack-clack-clack sound caused by people flicking through the CDs. It’s like something out of a Hitchcock movie.

Yes! Where electronic music isn’t simply dumped into an “electronica” rack.

So much music, so little time

If you love music, memoribilia, movies, then this is your slice of heaven.

I can pick up the latest 12” DnB releases. Or find that rare John Coltrane recording on CD. And if I missed picking up the live DVD of my favorite band, I can probably find it here as well.

Definitely a place worth checking out.
