Record stores in Montevideo

Montevideo, Montevideo has 3 record stores on the map. That's 3 record shops mapped around Montevideo. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Montevideo (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Todomúsica and Pro Musica, plus Dos Santos. If a record shop's missing from Montevideo's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Montevideo

A few things worth knowing before you work through Montevideo's record stores:

• Sleeves matter for value at Todomúsica. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
• Learn to spot reissues at Pro Musica. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
• Genre-hop. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
• Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Montevideo — 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 Montevideo can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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 3 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.
