Our Story

Music Whirl started as a passion project by vinyl collectors who were frustrated by how difficult it was to find quality record stores while traveling. We spent countless hours researching, visiting, and cataloging record stores across the country.

What began as a personal spreadsheet grew into a comprehensive directory that now features hundreds of independent record stores across the United States. Each listing is carefully curated to include essential information like store hours, specialties, and contact details.

Today, Music Whirl continues to grow, adding new stores and updating information to ensure vinyl enthusiasts always have access to the most current and accurate directory of record stores in America.
