Amoeba Music
Los Angeles

Prepare for an embarrassment of riches when you walk into Amoeba Music on L.A.'s Sunset Strip - a 35,000 - square-foot warehouse packed with more than a million LPs, CDs and DVDs. Amoeba's L.A. flagship (the others are in Berkeley and San Francisco) also offers free in-stores from acts like the Raconteurs and PJ Harvey, an expect staff that knows the eclectic stock inside and out and a vast and ever-changing collection of used CDs. "When you come in here; it's almost like a treasure hunt," says Amoeba Exec Ilene Barg. "If you have twenty dollars, you can walk away with a big stack of music."
