The best used CD stores in Toronto really take you back. They can be a walk down memory lane or an amazing place to find newer releases at a discount or in hard-to-find formats. Give downloading a rest and have an IRL experience at one of these shops.
Here are the best used CD stores in Toronto.
3 - Sonic Boom (Spadina)
This two-level emporium in a high-ceilinged loft space in Chinatown has CDs and vinyl as far as the eye can see plus a knowledgeable staff and a plethora of apparel, audio equipment, books and other music-related gear. This is a music nerd’s one-stop shop.
4 - BMV Books
Books aren’t all they do at this used chain with spots throughout the city. There’s also a ton of music that can be found here, and you’re welcome to bring in your old stuff to them as well.
6 - Dead Dog Records
Bloordale has this cool shop that’s always pumping music out its front door. With awesome themed window displays and band merch, this little store stands out.
5 - She Said Boom
This chain with stores in Little Italy and Roncesvalles Village sells music and books as well, but the truly grungy and eccentric environment has way more personality than a big box store.
11 - Discovery Records
This Leslieville shop is truly old school. Not only do they stock your typical, rock, jazz and blues, they’ve got spoken word, comedy and even sound effects in almost every format imaginable.
10 - Mike's Music
There really is a Mike at this Danforth shop, and if you want to while away some time chatting music this is the place for you.
8 - Neurotica Records
Buy, sell or trade at this Little Italy store with a selection of CDs, vinyl, cassettes, Blu-Rays and even audio equipment worth poring over. Prices are low and staff are rumoured to hand out ten percent discount cards at random.
9 - Paramusic
This place is as eccentric as the Yonge and Dundas neighbourhood it’s located in, but it’s been around for over 20 years so their stock has some hidden treasures.
7 - Pandemonium
This sleek shop in the Junction is loaded with music and books as well as DVDs and vinyl. Great place to find stuff outside the usual pop.
