Zero mapped record stores in Ubud, Bali — for now. We checked OpenStreetMap within about 20 km of Ubud for record stores.

What counts as a record store in Ubud

A shop whose main business is selling recorded music on physical formats: new vinyl, used vinyl, or both. That covers independents and the specialists. What doesn't count: the vinyl wall at the lifestyle chain, and online-only sellers. The bar is a real shop with real bins to dig.

Ubud sits near the equator. There's no real off-season for digging here, so shops restock on their own rhythms — ask when new used stock hits the floor.

When record shops in Ubud get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Digging smarts for Ubud

No mapped record shops yet, but the digging skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• The listening station is the test. If a record looks questionable, play the loud passages. That's where surface noise shows up.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
• Go often, dig briefly. Short frequent visits beat rare expeditions. Fifteen minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly dig.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.

The kind of shop that belongs here

Somewhere you can flip through crates: an independent record shop, a used vinyl specialist. Not a department store aisle — a real dig.
