AKA's hours are well suited for those prone to late-hour record cravings.

I love going in here to browse the used CDs. The prices are more than fair too. As for new CDs, they used to have a great selection, but they seem to be scaling back. Could this be another sign of that the music download is killing off the record store?

Whether you want a line on the next big local band or would like to browse stacks of used CDs in peace, you can find what you're looking for at this Old City shop. Knowledgeable salespeople won't look down on you for stocking up on greatest hits albums; nor will they shy away from making recommendations based on your current faves. A.K.A.'s also a great place to pick up concert info.

In Short
Located in an old pantyhose warehouse, AKA is a comfortable, bright place perfect for browsing. The glass storefront reveals the copious and well-organized stock of music within....

AKA is a well organized and well lit store to find hip-hop, dance, and jazz music. The store has an extensive selection of electronica, movie soundtracks, and much more.
