I don't do any CD shopping, even though I might get into it again soon as I start making more money. So my go-to for music in general is Rhapsody, where I pay a monthly fee for unlimited song downloads. It's pretty awesome.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member - I collect music and have over 55,000 45's, 15,000 33's, thousands of cassettes, 3,000 CD's, and even several hundred 8-tracks. Having said that, I have not bought a record for many, many years or a CD in at least two years, as all my music is now acquired/downloaded from iTunes.

Maybe I should've added Music store for audio editiing and music production.

If you need music (hard copy format): For Your Entertainment (FYE) has a lot of selections of CDs and I even have seen Vinyls.

If you need software or equipment, I am not yet knowledgeable of where to go. I'm just getting seriously started. I am enrolling in school with a hopeful start date of SEP 28.

I try to do business with local merchants first but I'll go through Guitar Center or Musicians Friend if that fails.

Musician's Friend has been for a while, but Sweetwater is looking good too.

When I bought my drum set, nobody wanted to send it to Puerto Rico, Musician's Friend, 123, etc. every body had a different excuse. Sam Ash was the only one that sent it with no problems. They made a mistake in the bill and gave me a credit without even asking. The only thing that I don't like is that, they know I play drums, they know I bought them a set, still send me just guitars offers, smh. SGT Private RallyPoint Member

I like browsing the "Refurb" section in Guitar Center and Musician's Friend.
