Indy CD and Vinyl

Great store!
Lots of great music and very knowledgeable people.
They have a good selection of vinyl and CDs, and don’t just stock mainstream stuff.
I was able to browse the CD section and find several porcupine tree CDs, which you won’t find in a lot of stores.
Their new arrivals section is usually full of decently priced good vinyl.
They have a listening station, so you can discover new music, and listen to records you are thinking about purchasing.
They have a great selection of new vinyl as well.
One of my very favorite music shops!

This is a very solid record shop. Wide array of genres and selection with some very hard to find vinyl. A ton of new issue vinyl as well as old stuff. The CDs are mostly new, I didn’t see any used CD’s for what I was searching for. I think they are slightly over priced, but ultimately I found a few vinyl’s I haven’t seen for sale in other shops and was pleased to add them to my collection.

Theeeeeee best! Music wonderland! All price ranges and genres are represented. A favorite for so long that just keeps getting better and better with the new ownership. Organized, clean, inviting. New and used CDs and records. Collectibles, books, turntables, apparel. There’s goodness at every turn. A kid’s play area and seat for dear old mom, too! I’m listening to an incredible Alice Coltrane album I purchased today as we speak. They say music soothes the savage beast (or the hormonal lady.) I agree. Keep Indy super cool. Buy some physical copies of music! You definitely won’t regret it.

I can’t get over the ‘above and beyond’ service I experience here. Every time I am looking for some new vinyl they do so much to help me out. They are always so friendly and so willing to help. If there is something I am looking for that they don’t have it’s not a thing for them to order it that day. Pricing is standard for vinyl these days so no complaints there, either! I recommend anyone go here for their music needs

I’m about as Millennial as it gets, yet there’s just something about walking into a music store and holding something in my hands that gives me something that hitting the download button on iTunes doesn’t give me. I collect CDs and vinyl, but outside of a handful of major chain stores, there aren’t many places to go.
Enter Indy CD and Vinyl, a local store that exists to feed my need for music. There’s a great selection (plenty of old favorites and more contemporary artists, and even a few local artists), the staff is very welcoming and friendly (one cashier and I once had a brief conversation over our mutual love of Doctor Who at checkout), and even if CDs or vinyl aren’t your thing, you can also find a great selection of DVDs and the occasional action figure. Plus, there’s also the occasional in-​store performance for those who like more intimate, stripped-​down performances by their favorite artists, local or national.
Sure, it’s a little expensive at times, but hey, that comes with the territory when you’re building a collection. Indy CD and Vinyl is a place for people who love music.

My friends and I were meandering around Broad Ripple when we saw this place and decided to stop in and look around. The shop is very organized and had a great selection of CDs and records from different genres and various years. Their new arrivals were clearly placed in the front, which was helpful. They also have a few listening stations in the back of the store, so you can listen to a little bit of a record before purchasing it.
The prices for new vinyls and CDs are pretty much the same everywhere, but they also had a decent amount of «used» CDs that were still very current and sell for around $ 7 a piece. As with most record shops, they also had 2 boxes in the back of the store filled with $ 1 CDs. You never know what you can discover in those if you take the time to look through it.
The workers were very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. They also have several stickers and buttons at the register that you can take for free! I’ll be sure to stop in again if I am around Broad Ripple!

Pretty diverse selection and friendly staff. Definitely the best place to buy metal vinyl in the Indianapolis area. They have everything from Deafheaven to Weedeater (at least in the metal genre) and they also appeared to have a good selection of indie and punk music as well.

This record shop is by far my favorite in Indy, and it’s been getting even better since new ownership. They support local music, have great artists play live in house, tons of giveaways, and they genuinely love music. If you are in the area stop in and take some time to dig.

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon with my 16 year old to show her what a *real* record store is like. I miss the days of «One Music» in my good old hometown of Muncie and figured she had heard enough of my stories about midnight Pearl Jam releases and Doc Martens that it was worth the trip to Indy CD and Vinyl. It did not disappoint.
She was amazed at the selection and even commented that she was able to find artists from her obscure pandora play lists here. Score.
I could get lost here for hours just flipping through the records and CDs. They also have a listening station with about 10 different genres to explore. Nice.
We will totally return — if even for the sake of nostalgia. Great place!

This is a hidden gem in Broadripple. Very few stores like this left. I actually found a really great vintage shirt here on top of great vinyl. Check it out if you’re in the area.

What do you usually expect from a record store?
Snobby staff?
I expect that. And that’s because I’ll never live my dream of going to a record store and seeing someone who looked like/​was John Cusack slanging vinyl. (I’ll get over it.)
Indy CD & Vinyl is not snobby. This staff welcomes you with open arms ready to shove some rad jamzillas into your ear holes.
Expensive? You should know that resurrecting vinyl is a costly business. Anyone complaining about prices of vinyl should stick with CDs, download Kazaa, go back to 1999. I just bought a SINGLE of Nelly’s Country Grammar for $ 29. This record had two songs on it. Supply and demand, guys. You wanted vinyl, pay for vinyl.
Anyway, this store rules and I’m going to miss it when I’m gone.

This place is fine as record stores go. Over-​priced and lacking much in the way of consistently impressive used records, which is what I look for. But it’ll do in a pinch. And the staff are usually pretty friendly.

The shop was reworked by the new owners who re-​opened the shop in Feb. 2014. The selection is awesome, the prices are very fair, and the staff is a great bunch of people. Best vinyl shop in the state.

Indy CD & Vinyl has been a staple location for my girls and I as I try to educate and introduce them to music, new and old, as well as the local scene. The employees are very involved in the community and local bands/​talent and can provide a wealth of knowledge if you just go in and ask.
Annie Skinner is on the Board of Girls Rock Indy, so we’ve become friends with my girls’ involvement over the years. Outside of the store she is also half of A Squared Industries with her husband Andy, hosting concerts and Dance Parties (Real Talk at White Rabbit and Rad Summer), DJing across the city (and for Naptown Roller Girls).
The store hosts in store shows to all ages groups introducing acts that may be local or on their way to play a show. During Record Store Day, in April of each year, the store has a complete lineup of talent and promotions of limited editions that draws people in the door all day long.
Listening centers are conveniently located throughout the store so you can preview albums/​cds and discover new artists.
This holiday season, remember to shop Small Business Saturday and pick up a gift certificate for your favorite music lover!

Decent selection of a variety of music. New, old and used vinyl and cd’s can be found here. Some prices are reasonable. I’m not sure if I agree with a $ 16.00 price tag on a ‘new’ cd of Showdown with Albert Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland. I bought that one years ago, new, for around $ 7.00.
Still, some harder to find vinyl and posters are hanging around.

Nice place, great selection not so great prices. I have never once been helped by an employee here. They ALWAYS have what I need. I definitely find myself at Luna more often though. I think if it was a different atmosphere they’d be the only music store still open in Indy.

This is the best music store in the state of Indiana. The selection has something for everyone — even cantankerous music S.O.B.‘s who will find plenty of Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse, Interpol and even long out of print B*tthole Surfers — on vinyl.
Plenty of CD’s, new and used records (w/​listening station), discounted rock show tickets, relaxed atmosphere, and a knowledgeable staff of music fans.

Alright folks, if you want to buy vinyl these guys are pretty much the only game in town, and they know it, and they price accordingly. The selection is pretty good, and the listening stations are a really great touch, and I guess if you like goofy crap everywhere the décor is gonna be right up your alley.
The employees are generally pleasant, and it’s always a good spot to buy concert tickets, but I think I was just spoiled by some of the really fantastic record stores in Bloomington to give this place five stars. It’s a charming place, and it’s always fun to drop by when you’re out and about in Broad Ripple for the day, but those prices definitely keep me from coming by more often.

Lots and lots of listening stations throughout the store but staff that tends to be caught up in their own conversations. Not all of them are like this, but some are. There’s quite a bit of local music which you may not be able to find online. Neat atmosphere and they sometimes have live music in the store.

Will second Byron on his points about pricing and organization. It still isn’t a bad store at all, and I’d put it on the level of Laurie’s Planet of Sound and Permanent Records in Chicago. Great selection of music, DVDs, music magazines, etc. for any standard music store. If the pricing was a little better (and which both abovementioned stores hold an edge), I’d likely add a star.
Least I did find a DVD here that I hadn’t seen anywhere else, and the staff went out of their way to help, so no complaints here.
