I have been a customer of Kroese for decades. Even not living in the Netherlands I pop in every…read moretime I'm in Nijmegen. And I'm dismayed to see the low number of customers. They used to be mobbed and they still deserve to be.
Reason 1: they have everything. Really. Tons of music in every genre.
Reason 2: they know about everything. I can always ask for recommendations.
Reason 3: they let you listen to everything. Really. I usually pick half a dozen CDs out of the bins, listen to them, and then go home with 2 or 3 that I'm perfectly happy with. No buying based on a review and then coming home and hating the music.
