Amoeba has a large selection and because they get a large traffic they have a large used section. The cataloging is horrible, always has been. You don't know where to find anything. When they were starting the Haight store they were better about accepting used CDs but now they are incredibly picky about what they will take. They either don't take it or give you very little money for what they do accept, and on top of that, they are likely to give you an attitude about whatever they do take. And if you go on a weekend you get to wait in line for the privilege of being harassed by them.

What happens when the local independent record store gets so ginormous that it starts to crush the other smaller, local independent record stores? Damn, being a conscious consumer is so difficult sometimes! Can you ever win? The selection here is second to none, unless you count the even bigger Amoeba that opened last year in LA. Ooooh, LA. Another mark against them. But, still a mark against the bestest record store ever. Remember to show your bus transfers to the register person to get the secret discount!

This is the largest music store I ever been to in the United States. HMV in Tokyo, Japan is larger than this store. Nonetheless, your music needs can be fulfilled here. They have a wide selection of music from the popular stuff to ultra rare items, including picture LPs for low low prices. Although there are adequate lighting in this store, it always feel dark in there... like you want to steal something. The store is not hard to find as their large "Amoeba Music" sign overwhelms the store front.

I love this store because there's tons of stuff you can listen to. They have lots of different types of genre for everybody. I especially love how you can scan a cd and listen to it just like that! I've never seen any other music store do that. The place to great when you have nothing to do.

I've been to Amoeba Records a bunch of times and I always find what I am looking for. The customer service and prices are pretty good. You can also easily find parking.

This store has a great selection of music at great prices, but I found them lacing in the trance department. They need more trance and techno music. I was looking for a particular cd, and I was around the area so I decided to check it out. they didnt have it there. I checked Virgina and I found it easily. This is a good store, but it's no virgin.

Amoeba is a great music store located in the height area in San Francisco. They have really wide selection of music. The great thing about this store is that you get to return the music you buy and get a certain percent of the amount you paid, this won’t happen at other music stores they will jus give you store credit.

For selection, location and prices, nothing beats Amoeba records. Bring your CD player, buy a CD, then take a stroll in Golden Gate Park and listen to your new tunes. I have never seen a larger selection of music, including new and used and vinyl, as when I visited Amoeba Music for the first time. My parents live in San Francisco, so I visit frequently, and I love visiting Amoeba. The serious music enthusiast will love this place.
