Record stores in Miami

Record shops reward the patient digger. Miami, FL has 4 mapped right now. That's 4 record shops mapped around Miami. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Check the grading before you pay — a visual grade and a play grade are two different things.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Miami (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Alegro Music Center and Yesterday and Today Records, plus Found Sound Records. If a record shop's missing from Miami's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

2 of the 4 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — record shops keep shop hours, so the listed times are usually reliable.

The Miami record crawl

Record digging tips for Miami

How the regulars work Miami's bins:

• Ask about want-list services at Alegro Music Center. Good shops will keep an eye out for your grails. It takes patience, but the call when it lands is worth it.
• Bring cash for the small shops at Yesterday and Today Records. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
• Check Discogs before big purchases. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Miami — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Miami can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 4 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 4 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
