They’ve been phasing out cassette tapes and phasing in used DVDs and video games. But your love for CDplus has never been just a phase—this Barrington Street landmark compiled a number of honours back in the Urban Sound Exchange days, and its streak has continued unimpeded since the calendar hit ’00. There’s also the added bonus of Halifamous staff—members of Dead Red and Hell City Love won’t judge you when you’re handing over a stack of nü-metal CDs for trade. 1592 Barrington, 422-1559
