• HMV's new store in the Ayr Central. It's a bit smaller than I hoped for and it isn't cheap. However, when they have a sale they really DO have a sale. Unfortunately it's often the same stock that gets cycled through these sales.
• Planet of Sound are dirt cheap and carry more rock and metal stuff than any of the big chains do.
• HMV.
• There's a groovy wee shop with a frail old man that sells the most sought after records, vinyls...wait, my friend's just told me he's dead.
• Planet of Sound seems to be a thriving wee shop, their selection is a bit limited but they're decent enough.

• Orion is the best place, in the post office across from the Odeon, but there is not much room and they have no vinyl :-( Also there isnt really many underground records in there just a lot of the better known bands, hardly any black metal.
• Asylum is totally closed now. Orion Records has a bit in Burns Statue Square. It's a sublet inside the newsagent/sub post office.
• Planet of Sound is bloody good! I spend all my spare time there hahaha, just cause it's got fairly cheap CDs and a good selection...
• Planet of sound....ROCK ON!
• Update, Asylum on Dalblair Road had a few small traders sharing the one building. It now seems to have closed down and the traders went elsewhere. One guy has a bit at the back of the Burns Statue Square sub post office, he sells CD's and DVD's there. There's a tatoo parlor in the same street as MFI that have a small selection of CD's. There's a new shop called Planet of Music on the main street up near the Tam O Shanter pub
• Asylum IS the old indoor market record stall. It was started by video stall, music stall and tatooist when the market closed. Video guy has since moved on but others remain. --- Check wollies for bargain bin deals also. V shop if you don't care about money.
• There's a new shop called Planet of SOund, or Planet of Music or something like that, that's opened up near the Tam O Shanter Inn.

• Orion Records in the Asylum off Burn's Statue Square has the best selection of rock, metal, punk, indie and weird stuff I've ever seen. Usually £10 or less an album.

• V-Shop, Woolies, and WH Smiths. That's about it if I remember correctly.
• the indoor market music stall was amazing if your into rock/alternative, but since it got closed Woolies and Virgin are about all
• A V-Shop, the former Our Price, but they are extortionate. Asylum, is a cool record/video/comic combo shop in Dalblair Road. They have a fair selection of stuff.
