My hubby and I really enjoyed visiting the Louisiana Music Factory (LMF) on Saturday, 09/28/2024…read morewhen in NOLA for a mini vacay from Austin, TX. Located in a brightly colored building on Frenchmen Street (corner of Frenchmen St. & Decatur St.), LMF is one of the longest running record stores in New Orleans. LMF definitely has an old-school record store vibe to it - minus the old musty smell and w/ the modern day comfort of ac. Trust me when I say that you'll for sure want to spend hours at this local NOLA gem, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to visit. LMF has a huge inventory of vinyl records and cds (old and new - all genres, including a great assortment of local New Orleans music) that are neatly organized and reasonably priced. It also carries musical posters, books, and shirts. There is also a Yelp perk of getting $2 off a t-shirt when you check-in on Yelp. Lastly, shout-out to the LMF employees who were very helpful during our visit - very much appreciated! Till next time, Rebecca

And it's pretty much the best place ever. Not only is the used & new vinyl & cd selection comparable to that of record stores in any hip enclave of any big city or college town, but it's also a major social destination. It is the one place left where music lovers gather, and spend hours hanging out and listening to tunes. I've met some of my best friends there, and it is where I run into old friends I haven't seen for ages. Don't let this treasured establishment slip away.

I was able to find a few good records here from local jazz based artist. I also picked up a cool baseball cap that was created by a local artist.

I approached this shop about the possibility of trading some of my used cds that I no longer…read morelistened to for used cds in their store. The young man in charge that day said I should deal directly with the owner who would be on premises the next day. I came back with 9 of my cds & asked if the owner would consider a trade. He said that he did not usually engage in trades, but without hesitation he said sure and let me pick out 9 used cds for a straight trade. It took awhile to go through the shop's jumbled collection of used cds, but I ultimately succeeded. Overall a pleasant experience, although I will say that the vast majority of the used cds he had for me to choose from were not to my liking.

You don't really see that level of customer service anymore and I greatly appreciated it. Besides that, they have a great selection of video games and other media (including a massive selection of DVDs and other physical media to browse) along with all sorts of electronics. Sometimes they will set discount stuff outside to browse as well. Five stars, fantastic place and I hope to come again soon!

All the video games, media, & other merchandise is reasonably organized into their racks or display cases sorted by system or genre. The store staff is knowledgeable and friendly when it comes to their systems, other items they're selling or if I had a question about what I own or about to purchase. I have also been impressed with the surfaces of my media products as they've never skipped & are barley scratched & have a smooth playing surface.  Be sure to like on FB & tell a friend https://www.facebook.com/ActionGameAndMovie/

I usually don't visit record stores, but thought I'd visit this one while I was on Magazine street…read more Glad I did. It's ginormous. Leave your backpacks at the front door. They sell more than records. They sell everything music related, aside from the CD's, tapes, and videos. It's an experience. Aisles and aisles. I first walked around the vinyl. New releases are in the forefront. They are organized by category and location. New Orleans artists have a section dedicated all their own. There's an entire T-shirt section and children's section. Toys and games. It's the ultimate gift shop. There's a stage in the back where bands perform. A small brown piano can also be found there. My favorite is the old school ice cream counter with connected stools currently used to display record players and colorful paintings of famous musicians. Great spot for a selfie. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I was greeted at the door.

Peaches records is this great, old school, record shop located on Magazine Street. The moment you…read morewalk into it, it feels like you've gone into a record store from times gone past. I know, cause I've been around since the times gone past, and this business truly reminds me of the record stores I used to love to go into back in the day. What they offer here is a great selection of both new and used vinyl. That's the main reason I believe you should go in there--for those of you looking for that great piece of vinyl: new or used. They also have an excellent selection of CDs, for those of you who want to listen to your music from that medium. One of the fun things about this shop is that they also have some listening stations, if you wanna hear some music before you buy it. That's always fun. Plus, they have a lot of other stuff: T-shirts, memorabilia, and a little bit of everything else that you never knew you needed. So, you never know what you'll find here. One of the very fun things about this business is that they have the remains of a fully functioning soda fountain. The machines are still there. The counter is still there. As are the spinning seats. It's just a great step back to the past. Just one of those things if you want to grab a great selfie or a great photo for your IG, it's an excellent place to do it. Overall, this is a great place to get your music. It's a simple as that. It's one of those stores that you can go in there looking for something specific, and you know they will probably have it. Or, you can go in there just cruising the aisles, and you never know what you'll find. Overall, fun experience!

Most cds were $5 unless marked otherwise and vinyl were priced as marked. They even sell tie-dye shirts. The location itself isn't too large, but the space is completely filled with music. It was a great spot to rummage around and find that vinyl record I had been looking for. I found a couple items. Chatted briefly with the associated who did offer me help along the way.
