This record store isn’t my favorite…. The prices are reasonable, but the store has no character or “umph.” The selections/genres are lumped together - instead of narrowed down to make browsing easier. No energy in the music they were playing. Overall a dull experience. I left without making a purchase, which is rare for me in a record store.

Awesome selection of records but these employees are stuck in 2012 Portland. This is the Buffalo Exchange of records.I’m tired of these “trying to be Portland” places. The kind of place where the employees treat you differently, if you didn’t straight up come out of a “Portlandia” episode. I really don’t understand this.Portland is multicultural and everything in between. We aren’t ALL “Keep Portland Weird” folks. Some of us just want to buy records and not be judged because we aren’t a stereotype.

This store has a great selection of compact discs. The shirts are really cool! Highly recommended

Great place to go browsing for music, both new and old/used! I got some of my favorite Billy Joel records for pretty cheap. They have a much larger selection than what I am used to seeing in record stores, and a really satisfactory amount of metal LPs! Im definitely going to want to come back for more, and it was difficult narrowing down which albums I wanted to buy, since I had a lot of good finds.

Fun place to shop. Really cool oddball finds here. Always a good experience!😎👍✨

Wish they were open later but other than that I love this place. I always find something that I dont need but I buy it anyway. I also like that they have you sanitize on your way in. Thank you for that.

Continues to be an impressive store. So much fascinating vinyl!

Too many records to choose from.I could have been there for hours, and still wouldnt feel like I had gotten enough. Great prices as well, just a fantastic shop.

The sign would make one think that they could sell all their CDs and DVDs but they are selective on what they purchase. The attendant gave me a polite detailed explanation on what price I could get and why

Came here as a last stop on my trip to OR. Was pleased to see they had a section for Jim Sullivan. Staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. If only you were in Colorado Springs too! :)

An essential stop in your Portland tour, wide variety music selection!

Good variety ! My daughter asked the staff about a pop artist she wanted to find. They were super cool ! Even though they didnt have it, they were able to order it ⭐

This place is great. Helpful and friendly staff. Even put some records aside for me when I called ahead.

Lovely staff, fabulous collection :) Looking forward to visit again!

One of my favorite stores in the world. I still buy CDs and this is my go to location.

Update your website. The store downtown is no longer open.

Great collection of vinyl and and CDs and had a great time going through the discount bins, had some great finds in them.

Place is limited with CDs and vinyls. Was better when it was twice as big.

I miss the days when they had two stores next to each other but this is still one of my favorite places to buy vynl

Extensive music and video collection. $.50 cent dvds. Good deals.

Mostly vinyl records stuff this independent music store.

Great store with huge selection!

Amazing selection of music. The store gives off a wonderful vibe, and is one of my favorite record stores ever now.

Amazing music selection and a huge selection of bargain records!! Really fun to browse and find new music:)

Big place with plenty of records and cds. I dont know why but I get a dry feel from the place. Very bland inside with the eggshell color walls. Reminds me of an old library. None the less they had a great selection of new vinyls.

Really cool music shop. Selection is varied. Doesnt have modern rock like Shinedown or Halestorm, which saddens me.Still would recommend, as its one of the last shops that gives you that 90s experience of CD shopping.

Asked them where to find what I wanted and they walked me there. Great choices, low prices. Bought CDs, and they played perfectly. Happy with my $16.00 purchase of three albums.

Found some really good records and a free tote for my purchase plus witty conversation. Great first experience there cant wait to go back!

Went to EM looking for a genuine Danny Bonaduce signed LP and was happy to find it. Lots of records, cds, movies, etc. Its a great place to spend a few hours, check it out today because you never know what awesome thing you might find there.

Great place easy access and great deals

Awesome store with all sorts of music records!

Im sad this place had to move into the smaller space ... Its Portland. If they dont make it this city is truly dead

A real live record store!!! Spent more than I planned but couldnt be happier!!! Some real vinyl gems!!!

They had a nice selection of movies and a lot of CDs

Good selection of dvds and great prices for older TV shows! Every once in a while, the clerk is one of those Im too cool for school types, but I dont seem to get those very often. Also, it kinda sucks that they dont have a way to look up all of their inventory. But if you have an hour or so to spare, its always fun looking through the racks.

Friendly staff ... great selection.

Dont expect friendly banter about music, dont expect cheerful service, dont expect to find things you are looking for without having to engage with the most miserable and antisocial workers around, those experiences are history, relegated to nostalgia.Its a big store and there is certainly a LARGE selection, most of its current pressings are stuck in the past (70s to 90s bands), I went there with a list of 6 albums I was looking for and they didnt have any. Though, who knows, getting somebody to check inventory is only slightly more possible than finding the Lost Arc of the Covenant, and if they do, expect them to barely conceal that Portland brand of detached indifference.2nd Avenue records is where you want to go, the people that work there are old enough to appreciate the concept of CUSTOMER SERVICE.Update: I added a star because I realized that the pandemic has been stressing people out and its hard to be friendly, but I have been to this store multiple times over a decade, this is not about one lousy experience.

Tons of albums, cds, and movies. Great selection, tons of new lps with a decent amount of used. Picked up eight albums when looking only for one.

One of the best record stores I have ever been to. Both locations. Huge inventory plus fair and affordable prices.

Loved it..they had all the CDs I needed!(:

Two locations, hit them both up, but dont expect any friendly banter or conversation. This is about music, whats there to say about it

Unfriendly staff. Came in with grocery bag of food from whole foods and they wanted me to check it at the desk. I felt racial profiled. No thank you, Ill take my money some place else where they dont make me feel like a criminal.

Its a decent store. Would give it a 3 1/2 stars if possible. They have a really big selection, but they cater a lot towards the indie music scene, although there are some gems tucked away. Definitely worth a look.

Mostly carrying new and recent reissue it isnt my first choice to find used vinyl. If you are looking for new releases this is the place to go.

Big store, good selection

I received a gift certificate from Everyday Music. I purchased some reasonably priced new and used vinyl. Nice selection and good location.

Fantastic Record Store Day experience-- especially considering the pandemic. Very friendly, very quick, very healthful.

One of the best record stores in Portland

Great prices and great selection,great experience all around,just needs a tad bit more of the indie genre.

Super friendly staff, great selection of records at good prices. They participate in Record Store Day as well.

Love to know the store is a value added source for music

Among the best shops in Portland metro area for used classical albums and cds at decent prices! Go daily!

Solid selection of vinyl, especially rock and its many micro-sub-genres. Decent prices. Would definitely come back!

I love this store. I recently decided to revisit my childhood and return to vinyl. The selection was great, prices seemed pretty average. I liked the atmosphere. I think this place and I will become good friends.

Lackluster selection and a pretentious, white scrawnysnob behind the counter.

Did not have my 2008 scene garbage.

Regarding their vinyl section, they have a tiny “world music” section. Maybe about 50 vinyls total for everything that isn’t American. Their rock section takes up almost half the store. However I did walk away with an absolute gem for an extremely, almost unbelievably, reasonable price and it’s in near mint condition. Really a hit or miss for out of print vinyl, but when you do come across one expect to be blown away.

This is the best Everyday Music location. I personally shop for vinyl and their section is hard to beat. I enjoy just walking around thinking of artist and they have a record or two.They have great finds and are willing to help you ship or special order your vinyl.Their cassette and CD area is equally as great.

Easy time selling cds

Ive always been huge fan of EM. Their discount vinyl has always been good place to find cheap records and score some deals. They also have all the latest vinyl so you can enjoy it all. Always a pleasant experience at EM.

New and used records from everyone and everywhere! Also not hipster or pretentious. Nice people, very welcoming.

The rudest music store in town.I asked the short dark haired woman behind the counter if she could direct me to a particular artist. She just directs me to the letter corresponding to the artists name in the Rock section. I said knowing it wouldn’t be there (this was not a rock musician) if they had an Inventory of some sort. She said they didn’t and I was a little taken aback and said “ so no computer list at all?” And asked how they keep track of things? Which she responded quickly and rudely that no, they did it with paper like they used to - it worked fine then why not now?I took this slight rudeness and continued my search on my own. I saw her then being rude to my mother-in-law who was also searching for something. She rudely just gestures to a letter again. I let this slide too.Finally I asked for another artist and she again just said look under the letter in Rock. I tried to explain that the artist I was looking for was not a Rock musician - and that I had looked in the classical section, was there any other suggestion she could offer.She started mouthing off at me that I shouldn’t tell her how to run her store. Whereupon I’d had enough and let her know how rude she had been the whole time I was there with my family.My wife brought an album up to buy and so I paid for it.She promptly threw the receipt at me and said that I had my record and that I can leave now.I think I’ve been generous to this person in giving a full description of her actions and mine - every piece of her demeanour and way of communicating with me was as if she hated me from the get go. I have no idea why she was this way, I was trying me best be as courteous as I could.This store is going to go under if you don’t start employing people who have any passion for their work and have even an slight idea of how to treat a customer.This was one of the rudest interactions I’ve ever had in a store.I will not be returning-and I will let anyone I know have my opinion on why.

Great selection and nice staff!

Place is awesome. The only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is because it says no where on their website that they stop buying at 8pm everyday. I was informed after hauling two big bags of dvds & cds 3+ blocks from the closest parking spot I was able to find, that they stop buying at 8pm. I let them know that it would be nice if it said that somewhere on their website. Other than that the place is awesome!!!

Really good selection of the oddball and eclectic hard to find bands.

I visited this location for a few Christmas gifts and found most of what I was looking for! I ventured towards the vinyls more than the CD section but it is definitely big. The organizing was a little weird to me, I had a hard time navigating but the employees were very nice and were quick to find the artists I was looking for! Very nice staff and awesome store.

Very good selection, big store, cheap music

I like both locations....They always have a lot of good low priced used music as well as decent priced new material. And a large selection at that. The location on the east side is lacking in the Blues department though.

This is my number 2 stop for all things music in town. Always a good vibe, good tunes playing, and a good selection of new/used DVDs, CDs, Vinyl, and some old VHS to comb through if youre feeling nostalgic. I really try to stop in a couple of times a month in order to add to my home video/music library. You have to check them out.

Classic CLASSIC store. When my kids walked in looking for their music, I thought, “naaaah”. Oh but they found it. And so much more!Old, young, record or CD; yup, they had it in stock.Hope this old school store is here to stay.

Huge selection of vinyls of all quality levels. Could spend hours sifting through their collection for gems. Cant speak to the friendliness of the staff as I havent really interacted with them but its a great place to go hunting for vintage vinyl.

Cool record s great poster s

Been around forever, and have withstood time. Place is huge, and their catalog is extensive. Highly recommend!

Is this the one downtown? I like the one downtown. That other one is weird.

Great store. Lots of variety and pleasant employees.

Had exactly what I wanted...

This place has a huge college and fun .50 records that may or may not work. Its a great place to stop by and look around!

Really good selection of analog and digital media. VHS, CD, Blu-rays and Vinyl are all welcome here. The vast desk space is absolutely amazing. The bargin section is an absolutely goldmine for finding favorites, new and old. While Music Millennium is the better option for brand new releases, this a good enough for most peoples needs. 10/10, would go again.

Awesome music store. Totally affordable.

One of the most expansive modern and old record collections I have ever seen. Huge selection of CDs and other things as well make this a place worth visiting if you appreciate music. Great music is always playing, too. Literally have discovered artists just by listening to the tunes playing in the background in this store. Honest, straightforward, clean, and an excellent selection. If youre in Portland and like music you have no excuse not to drop in. The world needs more record stores like this one.

Great store. Got the last copy of a new CD (Fear Inoculum by TOOL) the day it was released. Luckily I asked about it just as I showed up, and the clerk set it aside for me. They were friendly, helpful, and chipper. There is a fantastic selection there, in fact I had to leave before I bought more CDs. The five I purchased was more than Id planned on... Oh well.

Awesome selection. Lots of great stuff in the bargain sections.

Large store, great selection of new vinyl. Huge bargain section. However, not very well stocked on quality used vinyl, pretty average here.

Yeah, you can still get great music advice from a human. They have many there and all with great advice. Great selections of CD and vinyl.

This place seems a little bit pricey to me IMHO

Normally I would say this store is awesome. I have been coming for years and spent a lot of money here. But today I walked in and as soon as I walked in I was told I am not allowed to have my back pack on and they have to hold it for us. Well I have no problem with my bag being checked when I leave but to assume I am a thief as soon as I walk in leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Today they lost my business.

Great selection of music. I always find what Im looking for

They had lots of good stuff but it was organized kinda weird

Really great place to peruse cds and lose track of time. Great staff as well

Really good if you collect CDs. Massive selection. Just not for me. I was on a vinyl hunt. 5 stars nonetheless.

Great selection of new and used vinyl, nice and helpful staff.

Great place for all kinds of music in all types of forms. Great spot!

Great selection that is well organized. I enjoy picking up a few $0.50 CDs with hopes of discovering something new. I also enjoy their old CD preview stations. The headphones are a little worn but the selection is great.

Everyday music is gigantic. Its a great place to find hidden gems (deadstock records) and has a great used selection. Worth it if you can spend some time digging.

Fantastic selection of new and used music and movies in a variety of formats. Great place to browse

Laid back used CD and Vinyl resource with reasonable trade-in values. Fun to visit and browse; theyve got quite the collection of music and if they dont have something theyll order it in for you free of charge.

Good spot. Big selection of vinyl. Great staff in the vinyl room.

Everything vinyl and CD.

Great record store with a huge selection of new and used records, CDs, cassettes, and other items.

Great selection, I always have fun pawing through the bargain vinyl bins
