I enjoyed being in a place full of dvds, cds, records and VHS tapes. They do have things in a certain order to help you find what you are looking for. Its like a treasure hunt. Enjoy the hunt! Thanks Eric for all of your help!
Pretty much a disaster. Record selection in the rock section is really picked over, meanwhile there are mountains of unopened boxes of vinyl they havent bothered to process. Staff is rude. Most record stores I walk out with dozens of cool finds. Here I rarely walk out with anything at all.
I really love this store! Its great spending time sifting through the vinyls for that perfect gem you didnt even know you needed!
Huge inventory, reasonable prices, wide range of genres, obscure title, could spend days going through this place!
The worker is so kind he greeted us and when we left he said have a nice day, didn’t got anything cause I’m not really a back then music type of person but IF YOU LOVE THE BEATLES AND WHITNEY, you will love it here, so many Beatles and whitney, vinyl and CDs 💿 so if you love Beatles definitely CHECK OUT :)
Staff is friendly and laid back. Vast music and movie selections. TV and video game choices available also. Nice place to sell your old media.
Seems like a good place. Dude behind counter was nice. They had a lot of stuff but in true vinyl/uses cd store fashion its thrown everywhere, messy and unorganized. Too bad because I would spend more here if I could find it or at least didnt feel.like boxes would fall.on me as I walk by. If you have a wheelchair or walker/crutches be careful. Prices were good. Ill go back but Im not patient enough to look too long in unorganized boxes...
Love this store from vinyl to CDs to DVD if you dont see it just ask they will find it for you.
Great place to take your unwanted CDs & DVDs. Also to find old TV shows & movie DVDs. The Staff was very helpful & knowledgeable. They been around for years.
Staff is very helpful and friendly I have bought and sold many CDs and record albums there.
Love em so much. Been going for three years and every time, Ive been able to find an artist im looking for on vinyl or CD. found everything from mobb deep, primal scream, afrika bambaataa, sade, tangerine dream, to skinny puppy. The definitive store for people who dont know how to answer when someone asks them what kind of music they like.
Treasure trove of CD and Vinyl. Friendly staff and a non-stuffy atmosphere. Very underground basement treasure hunt vibe. I was able to pick up some obscure rare CDs today and the prices are low! Most CDs are $5.99 some even lower than that! I dont buy Vinyl but I am not exaggerating when I say I was tripping over the stuff browsing for CDs! Its everywhere!
I love this place if you are looking for a movie or CD or record then you should start looking here! You can even call and ask if they have something and if they do they will keep it up front for you to pick up so you dont have to spend time looking through everything. This place is awesome. Also all dvd movies I ever bought from here work great!
This is a genuine music store that I could spend hours in. When I say that though, its partly because of the organization. The music selection is great, but arrangement of vinyl is a bit chaotic. CDs are plentiful and more organized. Cassette stock was small as expected and in one area. There are some used stereo components for sale as well. Those working the store are friendly and helpful. I would give this store a higher rating if not for two things. First off, when walking past the back, I caught a glimpse into the rear storage area. It appeared to be a large cluttered hoard of media stored haphazardly, which was disappointing to see. Secondly, while I almost kind-of like the appeal of this place, finding particular vinyl will require a good bit of patience, maybe too much. I dont want to criticize business practice, but this place could really use a week of pulling stuff out, and then refitting it all back in a good place. With some more organization, this store would be truly amazing.
Call the store a week in advance and made arrangements to bring in my CDs on a Saturday was told to call Saturday morning to make sure manager was there. Called and spoke with manager and arrange to come in at one. Was told to call again before I came in which I did. The store just jacked me around and wasted my entire Saturday morning because they said after all they dont have anyMoney in the cash register! What a SHI-show!
Pro tip for anyone going into this store: i highly suggest referring records as vinyls there just to see if anyone gets madMost of the times I went there was a smooth and quick grab&go. I will say there was this one time that felt so weird. i felt that one of the staff members was getting to chummy on me.i wanted to buy an LP which was priced low because it had a scratch. he went and removed it, which is fine but he like.. made sure none of the other staff knew he removed the scratch so that I dont have to pay extra for it .. ?? and specifically let me know about him doing thatin a totally unwarranted discussion he went on to explain the history of LPs to me, commenting im young. he then also asked me about me going to UMD and if my sister went there (I dont have a sister) and asked for my name. the whole interaction felt so off and unwarranted bc i just wanted to buy something quick. i left feeling quite weirdAll in all, this place has an amazing selection of old records and CDs. Unfortunately it is very cluttered, cramp, dusty, and disorganized. It does not look particularly pleasing to the eye. Theres quite a lot of unsorted records simply stacked onto each other and the store has a funky smell. I think this place would be great if it changed to a bigger, cleaner, and brighter location with a total revamp. However, you can still find a lot of great content there for a good price.
Found some nice LPS. Great prices
Dream come true in a post-90s world.
They have sooo may records at fair prices but you need to carve out an hour to just browse. It could be organized better.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Like going to a CD store in the early-2000s heyday of CD stores. Excellent used section and new releases you can’t find elsewhere in person. Particularly good used blues section.
Spacious place to comfortably pack ur car
MY FAVORITE RECORD STORE IN THE DMV! ! ! I SPEND HOURS EVERY TIME I VISIT! YOU ALL NEED TO CHECK OUT CDEPOT IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Great idea, very cluttered, not enough light, but still a great idea.
If you’re into sampling and making beats then this is definitely a crate diggers paradise. There’s a variety of obscure records that are waiting to be sampled. I have a hard time finding some well known albums on vinyl since it’s mostly CDs, hence the name CDepot. Every time I go inside and dig for a good 2 hrs I feel like I’m in the Endtroducing album cover lol :-).
This place have a lot of music. However they are running out of space and is a challenge sometimes to walk inside the the store. If you compare the place with other stores is very disorganize. Hopefully they can consider this comment as a positive one and do something better.
CDEPOT is not the same store . my first visit to cdepot 10 years ago was a real treat . i dont know if their under new management . This store almost looks like a episode of American pickers . i walked in the store its not organized . boxes and cluttered everywhere . how do they stay open ? its my opinion people today dont want to go on a scavenger hunt to find music cds and dvds and records . if i would have taken pictures of what ive seen . i can only imagine how many views i would have gotten .
The place is awesome, extremely wide selection and great service. I highly recommend visiting this place if youre in the market for movies or music.
Still a really cool place, but seems to not be as together as it once was. Lots of treasures to be found on their shelves.
I Came up my first time there!!! left out with 8 vinyls all classics went home they all played and sounded good despite most of them being used, spent less than $20. Will be going back again.....and again lol
Great used and new CD store. They (brick and mortar music stores) dont exist anymore. Luck of the draw on inventory as they stock up regularly. I bing buy when there!
They had so many cds and dvd....a wide variety of music ...movies...and games....I loved it
My oldies music spot. Huge inventory. All kinds of music, movies and games. You have to take your time and look...i guarantee you will find something you like!
This is a great spot for vinyl records, CDs and other media. I personally come here for their vinyl selection and they have a decent selection. Good have more soul and jazz in my opinion. Good prices and selection of used or new copies
A bit crowded, but hey, isn’t that what good record stores are supposed to be?Not able to go there as much as I’d like, but always find something worth while.These kinds of places are disappearing fast, so treasure them while they’re here.
Owner is super nice and generous. Let me drop off large donations last minute with no hassle.
Great store! Awesome personnel! Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to.
CDepot is what you would expect from any music store. Theres tons of music through the whole store, but none of it is well organized and it takes a bit of effort to figure out the way music is divided in the store. The customer service was just okay, and the store definitely looks like it has some age to it, but with some searching you can find some good music
Cd Depot has a vast inventory especially for records and there can be sone finds, however it can be too vast as there are piles of boxes everywhere including some quite tall stacks and the whole entrence way. Great if you really enjoy the hunt.
My pumpkin took me to this place and it was nice. They have a mass amount of music selections and it kind of reminded me of Willies record store in Richmond. Nice place to go for music!
Staff is friendly and it is a fun place to hunt and find something interesting to listen to.
A lot of items available and the staff is very helpful. Because there is so much there, it can feel a little disorganized and cluttered in some areas. Great place though.
They have almost everything. You need time to go through so much. Lots of un catalogued stuff.
They need to update their website. I have a bunch of cds that I’m trying to get rid off so I take them here for cash which the site says they do. When I get there the guy says store credit only.
Great music great movies on DVD and Blu-ray and Video games
A crate diggers paradise gave me a nice discount
This place has so many, records, cds and movies.. sadly better than half records are in boxes and not priced.. wish they had things a little better organized. But still always wind up buying something every time im there
EXCELLENT Source For Music n Hard to find old School CDs or Even Albums
A large variety of vinyls and CDs. Its amazing
Great record store. When you visit, plan to spend time here sifting through the massive used record collection they carry.
This place is pretty dope to go and search for cds/movies. Prices are reasonable. My only gripe is the staff always seem bothered by you coming in and shopping around
Great selection of used cds and records. The staff has always been very nice and very helpful.
Im always liking it when a store has my product and CD depot will always have my music or they can order it. Cool and very cool Deal yes.
CDepot is one of the greatest places to find great and inexpensive movies,cds, vinyl records and much more.
They always have what i want.
Can almost always find just what im looking for
Great place to purchase used cds, 45s and albums.
Best place to get music in DMV area
I go here almost every payday! Find obscure titles and things you didnt know you were looking for. Think of a band and they will have it here! Out of print items and new releases! If they dont have it they can get it! All of this at an affordable price
I have been there for 2 weeks ago and I love to buy this CD of Charlie Pride his son is so awesome and beautiful also Andy Griffith gospel songs.😀🎸🎸🎶
Fabulous place! Lots of records CDs and DVDs. Knowledgeable friendly staff. The place to come to find everything! :-)
Great prices and great library of media.
Cool and organized place to find either LP records, cassettes, movies...used and new.
Love this place. Been coming here off and on over 10-15 years and it really has not changed a bit. Tons of cd, mostly new but still a great selection of used too and tons of old hard to find vinyl. Place is a tad cluttered its like they have too much stuff that they have random stuff scattered in boxes all over the place make egress a bit of a pain but still a great nostalgic place.
Check out my normal place & always enjoying shopping inside.
Went here for some cds I bought that I love which are Bob Marley.
Well, look no further than this AWESOME PLACE IF YOU WANT TO TIME TRAVEL!!!! They have literally everything!!! VINYL,CDS,ATARI,PS1,BLU RAY....I saw the gold care bears vinyl on the wall I MUST OWN IT!!!
I have been buying CDs from CDepot since it first opened (sometime in the 80s or early 90s). The BEST place in the Maryland suburbs for price and selection, and fortunately still going strong.
One of the few remaining high altars to retro memorabilia, CDepot has a vast selection of cds, vinyl, and dvds. The place is a veritable goldmine of hard to find and often out of print material. Ive been coming here for 20yrs and have consistently mined nuggets and imported gems from audio to video. The store is huge. If you dont mind leaning into and stretching over full cardboard boxes which line the aisles, youre sure to find some interesting offerings. The walls also serve as a kind of album cover art gallery, as there are many framed LPs. Ive also found some great music- related books here. I should hope that long-serving, friendly and faithful staff, namely Jerry, would be amply rewarded. Theres usually plenty of parking, although the Chinese buffet next door can get busy. From jazz to rock n roll, classical to international, its well worth the trip to check it out.🎷🎹🎺💖🧐🎤🎸🥁🎻🆒️😎🎶😊☮.
Best place to find those rare CDs, vinyl & movies! They also buy your media also.
Largest selection of any used store around here. Most everything is used but sealed closed, so you cant inspect the actual record or CD for scratches before buying. Pointless, I didnt buy anything. Store was really hot and isles were crowded with boxes of used record inventory not on display.
Good place still standing 💪.
You name it, they have it or they can get it for you! Great jazz section.
Amazing selection of vinyl. Great staff.
A little over stocked, but always helpful for finding those difficult to locate items.
ABSOLUTLY, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!!I have been buying music, videos, and games from here for years. Im like a kid in a candy store! I would be crushed if anything ever happened to this store! Its my therapy#CDDEPOTFANATIC
Its ok
Great selection of movies and music, great staff, great music playing in the store.
This place is an unholy mess. Its far too unorganized to shop comfortably. Boxes of LPs block the access to the CDs, and those CDs are sometimes packed into the racks so tightly that they are impossible to quickly flip thru. I had to lean over, bend around, or stand on tiptoes to read the CD spines (and the lighting doesnt help). And while the initial reaction to seeing long rows of CDs seems promising, fully 90% of the inventory is junk -- stuff that in other record stores would be in the dump bin, priced to sell at 50 cents a disc. The good stuff is inevitably labeled RARE, even when its only nominally so, and priced at full-blown retail.It quickly began to feel like work going through the inventory. I finally got so frustrated with the chaos and disarray that I just walked out. I wont come back until they straighten up the place and not make it such a chore to browse. Such a shame, because Im sure theres some gold in there somewhere. Well, I guess Il never find out.
Its a great place to check out older films, and get some sweet records! The prices are really good too!
Great place to find music if you are a audiofile, DJ, or you just like music. You can find most titles here.
Nice little music store is youre looking to kill some time or are looking for something specific.
I love this place. Theyve got everything and the staff makes great recommendations.
Had some nice items..but staff was annoying! Profiling bigtime
Nice selection of CDs and stereo equipment
Probably closer to a 3.5 rating. While there are some negatives (disorganized, dirty, unfriendly employees, horribly low payout for your used stuff, and over-emphasis on Rap CDs in their new releases), the bottom line is that there is always something surprising and worthwhile to be found. With my sizable collection of 1500+ vinyl/CDs and being very critical of what I add to it, even I manage never to leave empty-handed. That says something! Suggestion: Come without a specific list of things youre looking for (use Amazon for that) and be open to new discoveries. Also, come with plenty of time on your hands, as youll be digging around awhile.
Really fun to browse and prices are reasonable,
Best place for music in the DMV!
Waste of space. There is not one metal cd in the building. Place is moldy and you cannot even reach the cds in the rock section because of the boxes of rap and gospel crap in the way. I reccommend driving all the way to baltimore to go to the soundgarden where they sell music.
Good cheap old records
If youre looking for any old CDs youll likely find it there. They have lots of out of print stuff.
Great place for music lovers
An emporium of nostalgia. So many records and cd’s. A must hit for cratediggers and vinyl enthusiasts.
Seemed nice, very large with tons of CDs and records. Confusing organization though.
They no longer pay cash (although it says they do on the window) only store credit
Great store great movies and music!
If youre selling lp records, you have to go after 6pm week nights.
Great selection of Vinyl, CDs,and DVDs!
