Where do you buy music now that Tower is gone?

Since Tower Records is gone, does anyone have another place you like with a good selection, or do you just use Amazon and Itunes these days?

Mostly just use the 'net to buy stuff, or run down to CD Cellar in Falls Church.... BUT, I try to make a trip up to The Sound Garden in Fells Point two or three times a year for some real music shopping. It's a real cool record store, not some corporate chain like Tower, and they have a giant selection. You would not be disappointed. Alot of good bars and restaurants in the neighborhood, which make the trip up there worth it. It's also not a far walk from the Reptilian Records store, which is also decent, but caters more specifically toward punk and metal. And it's a short drive to Normal's, another decent used record and book store.

I know it requires a drive up to Baltimore, but it's definitely a great option; I really look forward to those trips.

record and tape exchange in the Fairly shitty errr fair city mall. Beware of the skinny lil girl that works there though. she plays really crappy "vante Gaurde" music over the sound system. This store does have a lot of bootlegs on vinyl should you want the live experience

I was mainly thinking of CDs, wondering if you all buy them on Amazon or if there are still local record stores. I'm looking for some classical music which isn't up on Itunes Plus yet,and I'm not sure I want to go and buy the DRM versions of it.
