CD Warehouse is a local franchise of about 4 stores that sell new and used CDs, DVDs, and Video Games. The selection is OKay....translation: if you're looking for the latest top40 of the most popular genres, you can usually find a used copy here. If you're looking for something more obscure or off the beaten path (i.e. the video will never make it on MTV), you might want to skip this and head over to Vinyl Fever. You can usually trade cds on a 2:1 ratio for used cds or a 3:1 ratio for new cds. There are only two locations that I'd recommend, the Village Square (Killearn area) and the one at the intersection of High Rd and Tharpe (WinnDixie Lot). These seem to have the best selection of the locations in town. The staff is usually friendly and they do have a database of cds available in all the stores in town, so ask if you don't see it on the shelves. CD Warehouse is sometimes a ticket vendor for music events in town, and if you save your ticket stub, you can get a 20% discount when you come back (this may be a temporary deal, but worth asking about). If you're in a local band and trying to get your demo or cd out in town, talk to Mike (the owner of the local stores easily spotted as the guy with the poodle)...He's friendly and into helping local artists get a spot on the shelves. My verdict: decent, but I still prefer the Fever.
