Massive selection of records/CDs. Prices are very reasonable. Walked out with 2 new albums for $60. Close to Powell's books so you can hit both in one afternoon read more

Very good selection of records overall. Large sections to where you could spend a good amount of time looking. The service was a bit shorthand. I asked about a record and the staff member just responded with what's on the shelve is what we have. Given that record stores have a variety of ways to categorize it's very easy to miss something you are looking for so the customer service was just a bit off for me personally. read more

This place has a fantastic selection of vinyl records! I love how organized everything is. They have a wide variety of music genres, from hip-hop, soul, rock/r&b to soundtracks. Their rock/r&b section was pretty big but majority of the records were sorted by artist which made it easy to browse. I ended up spending a decent amount of time in the store because I kept finding albums that I rarely find anywhere else. Prices are generally in line with what you'd find online, but if you catch one of their sales, you can score some great deals. The cashier was also incredibly friendly. Love my new tote bag! read more

Well it's ok. No rap/hip hop or African American artists were under 3799. Vinyls less at Target, Walmart, Ebay by 10-20 dollar. No one really helped me in there. Vast selection though. Cashier was nice. I wish they has an inventory system. I'm a Midwesterner...our albums are less. I spent $12 for some Budget Vinyls... this were a great deal of you can find something you like read more

Fantastic selection of records, tapes and cds! The staff is friendly, helpful, and they support local music too. I would recommend this store to anyone who loves music and wants to support a local "mom and pop" shop. read more

I remember Everyday Music store in Seattle gosh it was so good. Every genre of music on vinyl or CD it was a dream of the past. Well they closed during COVID pandemic. I have since started collecting more CD's and even buying digital music. Avid music fan of Soul, Jazz, Rock and any catchy tone. I traveled to Portland what I thought would be a like version of the Seattle store it wasn't. The store look like it has a good amount of patronage. The music or the vinyl and CD's things I looked for was not there or not available. Most of the read more

The good: decent prices, good selection. The bad: parking is either a pain(street) or expensive(garage), no staff on the sales floor. The ugly: cashier didn't greet us as we came in and then when he rang us up he was SILENT! Told us our total but no greeting, no "thank you" or any kind of closing after we paid, and didn't ask if we wanted a bag despite purchasing multiple items. Bro, if you hate customers don't work in customer service. read more

Had an issue with an employee being rude and heartless. The individual made excuses why they couldn't send an item and would have to wait most likely weeks. Just keep your inventory guys. read more

First off, we got rid of our record player years ago and after finding out about Everyday Music, we now deeply regret it. This music store has a wide range of LPs and CDs from all kinds of genres and decades. There was also a stack of $5 CDs and honestly, I may now have to find myself a CD player as well! The only issue I have is the cost of each one, especially the newer records. I didn't expect it to be almost $30 each, but that's coming from someone who's not fully aware of how much these cost nowadays. I was just surprised, that's all. All in all, super cool store to spend some time wandering around. Once I have the means of playing CDs and vinyl records, I'll definitely come back to purchase some! read more

Support your local record shop! This one is great - chill vibes, large selection, good prices. One of my favorite spots on the ws of Portland. read more

So far this is the largest selection of lps, cds and dvds I've seen in Portland. The cds are curated nicely, so easy to find what I am looking for. I'll be back for more crate digging soon! read more

Woo Hoo this is a great record store! I found some gems in the new arrivals like an Emmitt Rhodes debut record first pressing from Dunhill Records.. Mind you I already had a first pressing of this record but, this one was in great condition and reasonably priced. So you got to get it right! Lots of new LP's and used, and great cd selection. They were playing cool stuff I had never heard and the staff was super nice! the store had a great vibe and if I was more browsing the day instead of on a mission I could have spent a longtime in here making the rounds! read more

I've bought vinyl and have sold vinyl here many times and had the best customer service. BUT unfortunately upon my last visit I had to endure one of the most negative customer service experience I've had in Portland. It felt as if my presence or any question I had was excruciating to the employee named Michael. To find out that he's the MANAGER was astonishing. Very dismissive and condescending. I'll sadly never return because of the way I was treated. This person definitely doesn't need to be in a customer service position. read more

Overall, meh. Cool shop, definitely have a huge variety of music. I was really hoping for a bigger selection of vinyl records, I think there were maybe 25 in the whole store. If you're looking for CD's then this is definitely the place to go to. They probably have 10,000+. They also have a really big selection of DVD's, and a lot of those are 50 cents. They get three stars from me because of the lack of what I was really looking for, and not one person stopped to ask if they could help me find anything or even say hello for that matter. read more

Love this place and have been coming for years now. They have everything you could imagine and always a great discount section. I also love the dvd/cd sections because they're 50¢-$1. Have never had a bad experience and can have a good conversation with the workers, I would recommend going on a week day for a more laidback vibe! read more

Support your local music stores ya bastards! Stoked to score a couple of new and used CDs and LPs.... as expected they played some cool and varied tunes while shopping and the selection was fairly organized. read more

This place has the worst customer service I've ever experienced! The staff was impatient and extremely rude when I had questions and asked for help. Extremely disappointing... read more

My only regret was not being able to carry more albums on the plane. Wife and I were in Portland for a couple of days and happened to walk by this awesome place after brunch. I found a couple of albums I needed and bunch I wanted. Great prices, great selection, wish I could go back. read more

It's the biggest used music store I've ever been in- love this place! The stuff seems to always be friendly and the prices are reasonable especially in the bargain bins! read more

Went to a concert at the crystal ballroom and had an hour to kill before doors opened, so I decided to mosey over to the record shop across the street...and WOW. I could've spent hours in there and spent a month's rent. Amazing selection of vinyl (and used CDs in the other side) from wall to wall. Definitely made me miss my old local favorite vinyl shop. Because I was flying home, I used restraint and only bought a copy of the Eels album, Souljacker, which I had been hunting for years. Make this a stop on your trip for sure, if you are a crate digger or just an avid music lover. So glad places like this still exist. read more

Everyday Music - Music & DVDs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ah memories. When I moved to Portland, I didn't know anybody! I would wander through downtown alone and spend my evenings digging through the CDs here. I'd put on a pair of the enormous headphones and listen to the latest albums or staff recommendations. They used to be open until midnight so I would first go to Powell's (open til 11), then wander over here and eventually make my way back to St. Johns on the 4 late into the night. Then one day, it happened. Alex L. was peeking at me through the large windows on West Burnside; somewhere between the Electronica and Rock section, we fell in love. From that moment on, the soundtrack to our relationship has varied from low-fi indie to gangsta rap (okay, mostly gangsta rap) and I know that whatever phase we're moving through, Everyday Music has the tunes to match. As the worlds becomes more digital, I find myself placing sentimental value on the more tangible items like books and CDs. In particular, I was given a record player for my birthday this year (can you guess from who??) and I know that Everyday Music will play a huge role in building my record collection and even more memories. There's an entire half of the store devoted to records - it's ridiculous. They even sell wooden crates so I can look hip and impress people with my hoarding. Aside from the sappy feelings I've attached to this place, Everyday Music has always been my go-to place for music shopping. You don't have to be afraid of the staff here, they don't follow the pretentious stereotype and will talk music with you at the counter. If you wake up one day realizing your 14 year old self did not like very good music, Everyday Music will pay cash on the spot for those horrible CDs that you've been hiding from house guests. Not very much mind you, but it's less hassle than selling them online for a penny. And no one will ever know how much you loved emo music. read more

Less than a year ago I acquired a turntable and my parent's old vinyl collection. This was the start of my addiction to record collecting. Everyday Music has been one of my favorite spots to go browsing, especially when I'm bored and looking to get out of the house for an extended period of time. There is something magical about getting lost in the store flipping through the almost endless bins full of records. One of the nice things about EM is that they sell both used and new records. The used items seem to be priced based on quality, (Fair, Good, Fine). Any time I have needed help, the staff has been nice enough to answer any of my questions. For the most part the staff respects the privacy of their patrons and allow them to browse the day away. I have also typically enjoyed the music they play overhead because record shopping would be a little too lonely if done in a silent room. The only thing that I'm not totally keen on is they seem to not want to exchange things, even if the record skips like crazy upon getting it home. For this reason I try to closely inspect all used records before I purchase them. read more

I'm, like, poor. So the 50 cent vinyl bin at Errrday Music is what I tried to limit myself to when I came in. I found a ton of old classical music on vinyl, but the majority consisted of music I never heard of. There was also a decent sized collection of Neil Diamond.. unfortunately I'm not a fan. Luckily, I love classical music so I bought up 5 records that came out to only $2.60! Tried them all out and they worked perfectly. Bach's a badass, I was bumpin him all day. I, also, perused the more current records and enviously thumbed through the albums of my favorite artists. 30 bucks for a record?? Too steep for me now, but one day I will return for you! read more

Everyday Music - truth - Music & DVDs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They have a huge selection to pick from when it comes to vinyl which makes it the perfect place for any record lover to spend and hour or two. The only complaint i would have is that their cd selection seemed limited. I looked for several popular bands such as My Chemical Romance and Car seat headrest and was met with an empty stock with the label still there. I wouldn't say I wasn't disappointed at all though and I would recommend it to any person dropping by. (Although a little Los Campesinos music mixed in would make it 10 times better) read more

So i called in to the store a day in advance as the website suggested to get there current buying status. Lady on the phone told me to bring it in and that in 72 hours they would look over my collection and give me a price. Made the drive downtown from Forest Grove, paid for parking and went in. Immediately they got on my case about not wearing a mask, even though only 1 of the 2 of them were wearing one. I said sorry, forgot it in my car, but doesn't that mean you should be wearing yours as well? She replied "I'm going on my break!" Sorry, but thats not the way it works, but i guess it is for the hypocrite with the "Do as i say, not as i do" mentality. Employee one goes on her break, while employee two gives me a hand truck to walk back to my car with and lug my fairly large collection of cds in. He looks at the large clear case, doesn't even open the lid, and says sorry, were not interested in any of these. Every genre of music was in there, all mint condition in there cases. Made some excuse about downsizing? Why didn't they mention this on the phone the night before? In the end, he doesn't even offer to walk back with me to my car to help load and take back his hand cart. Never going to this store again, and will recommend all my friends do the same. read more

What in the world is better than spending some quality time on Burnside scanning through Powells Books? Everyday Music is what. Great big place chock full o' music and always playing something over the stores music system that I guarantee you've never heard. I know it is a hip and cool place, because I only see hip and cool people working there, but it would be nice to get some decent service there just once. I guess if you're not showing some world class legs or have clevage falling out of your top you're just not worth their time. Swear, only time I see one of the employees run is when a equally hip, cool or goth chick is at the register. But they have my tastes, whether they like it or not. I get all my George Harrison stuff there and occasionally find some, Was (Not Was), CDs to listen to. read more

LOTS of records. I made the mistake of waiting until the last day of my trip (shortly before heading back to PDX) to stop in here for the first time. That being so, I only had enough time to flip through the used new arrival 7"s and some select used lp sections (despite being there for an hour.) From what I saw, I know there would have been some great records in the used new arrival LPs and at reasonable prices. Wish I could have shopped longer! read more

such a great spot. chill & lowkey with a great selection. workers are friendly and helpful. picked up bjork & fiona apple :)

Everyday music is very fun place. I went there on Saturday and they had live music on the corner of vinyl section. I bought 6 used vinyls and it only cost me $3. Definitely i will be back! read more

Everyday Music - Vinyls - Music & DVDs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My rating does not reflect their selection. They have a very large selection of music, from vinyl to cd to even cassettes. Everything is organized by genre and they have practically any title or artist you could be looking for. I even found a rare jazz diva that I've been looking for and multiple albums at that. The three stars is really due to their pricing scheme for their vinyl. Now I realize vinyl is back on top for music lovers and, like everything else in life, it's not as cheap as it used to be. But even their used vinyl of generic music was overpriced. I can even begin to afford some of the more worthy titles. And rare titles are completely off the discussion table. The staff is definitely quiet and off to the side. If directly asked a question, they are on point with their musical knowledge. But none are too eager to offer opinions or suggestions, which I found odd but to each introvert their own. Overall, if there's something you've been looking for and can't find or buying a friend a special album, this most definitely is your place. If your just adding to your collection or looking for a more common album, this may be too pricey for the trouble. read more

Everyday Music is a fun place to purchase music, movies, and memorabilia. They offer such a wide variety of items for sale and give fair prices for trade ins. read more

Huge inventory and good location, but I don't recommend coming here to sell media. When selling vinyl records regardless of the condition you WILL be told that your stuff is "pretty scratched up" as an excuse to pay you less $. If it was that bad condition they just wouldn't buy it because EM does have a huge selection of new releases. Considering the size of their storefront and the number of employees working, they need to cut corners by ripping the seller off. OK to buy from if in the area, but dont waste your time selling your stuff here read more

Everyday Music is like therapy for me. What I love about this place (and its sister store on NE Sandy) is not only how vast the selection is, but also how roomy it is. Other excellent record stores in town can oftentimes be marred by feeling like you're packed into a can of sardines with no room to pass other people and essentially getting trapped unless you ask someone to move down the aisle to let you out, or having someone stand there waiting for you to move even though you're busy flipping through records. It's like trying to pass the drink cart in an airplane aisle. No fun, and distracting. EM doesn't suffer from that problem. Some afternoons I'll show up and spend hours going through half the alphabet of their vinyl and leaving with a huge stack of records. It's such a pleasant and enjoyable experience, and the record selection here is massive. Seriously, whatever you're looking for, you're most likely going to find it here unless you're after Discogs-type rarities. I see quite a few comments below where people are complaining about the staff. Welcome to record stores. "Exquisite customer service", "sublime manners" and "genuine smiles" aren't what anyone is interested here. Record shopping is an introvert experience. read more

I called on Record Store Day a few days ago to check inventory. I was transferred to someone in the back, and instructed to ask for Augie. The guy who answered said Augie was not available. I then said "Listen - I totally get it's chaos there right now, but any idea if you have this specific record left, as far as you can tell? I completely get if it's not possible to check!" Here's the answer the guy gave me: "We don't check inventory on Record Store Day," and then hung up the phone. No other words came out of his mouth. No problem about not checking inventory - obviously I get it, which is why I prefaced my call with my above comment. Hanging up on someone who is being nice, though? Uh - not ok. To the jerk who hung up on me, here's the deal with life: when someone is really understanding upfront, don't hang up on them. Even if someone isn't perfect upfront, still don't hang up on them. Unless someone is unmistakably abusive, don't hang up on them. To the manager/ owner of this store: I might recommend identifying this individual, and removing him from your staff. Doesn't Record Store Day prove it's already hard enough to stay in business as an independent record store? This employee is hurting, not helping, Everyday Music. read more

In my 30 years of record shopping I have never had somebody yell at me as a paying customer. Not cool at all. Then try and lecture me about attitude and say it's a privilege to shop at your store? Gtfoh. It's too bad one asshole can ruin it for other well meaning employees. Plus their inventory is overrun with turds making it damn near impossible to find good shit if there was any. Plenty of other great record stores in Portland - skip this one. read more

This is a fairly vast Everyday Music location loaded with: --LPs: I didn't find the ones on my list (Billie Holiday, Tribe Called Quest, or salsa) --DVDs: Here again, I came up short, but they had a huge selection --CDs: I stuck strictly to the used section, and picked out a handful (I was also able to listen to them. This is a fair "media" store: solid 3.5 stars read more

Traveling for work and stopped by here. Found a limited release RSD Roy Buchanan still in shrink! I think there was only 1000 or less released. Plenty of vinyl to dig through and a separate adjoining building for CD's. read more

This is my idea of heaven. The clickety-clack sound of the CDs shifting as I browse through them, the feel of the plastic cases on my fingers, the thrill of finding an album I was looking for or, even better, finding one I didn't even know I wanted until I saw it. The staff is very friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the selection is awesome. Heaven, I tell you. The only thing that could make Everyday Music better is if it smelled like vanilla and they served beer. read more
