This is one of the very few HMV stores around. The one I used to go to in Sherway is now gone. I still buy CD's for music because I want the CD. I can rip them to my iTunes and give the CD to my wife so she can play it on her CD player in the kitchen.
I don't see many dedicated music/DVD/BD stores around anymore. Best Buy, Future Shop, Walmart and other stores that sell electronics and media still sell music but they just don't always have the selection that dedicated stores like HMV have.
