Unusual unexpected store in the West End near Polo Park. Lots more Soul & Jazz than other stores in…read moreWinnipeg but no shortage of all types of music. Fair prices - lots to look at on the walls. Most used records are on the floor level bins but comfy benches and stools make the dig less lethal on the knees. Big bargain bins for both records and tapes. Good return policy. Great atmosphere.

I've been a customer for almost 15 years and it can't be beat. They have a great selection and…read moreexcellent quality stuff. The staff is great and very knowledgeable about the movies and music they sell. They also sell video games now, which is awesome! Fair with prices too. Worth stopping by!

I love Planet of Sound! My husband and I have been going there for years while living in Winnipeg…read more Two years ago, we moved to Ontario, but we always come back and check out what POS has to offer whenever we are in town, and never leave empty handed. They have a great selection of DVDs, Bluray, CDs, vinyl, and video games. They are our first choice when trading in. We have tried other places but POS gives us good returns for our trade ins. We have tried other places closer to where we live now, but they fall epically short. The best part of Planet of Sound though are the people working there. Such great guys that care about their clients. Every time we go in, they recognize us and remember us. They could tell us things we had purchased in previous visits and ask how we are doing. We are very impressed by their service. This is why we come back time and time again. Definitely check them out if you are in Winnipeg!

Great visit.

I got some great finds in the New This Week section and my son came across some records he has not found anywhere else.

Who knows when I will make it back here. A diamond in the…read morerough! Spent all my wallet on possibly the widest range of musical styles this vinyl fiend has in a long minute. Including the album playing, the owner came out to talk to me about it...he was a lil bummed cause his copy was not as clean, and I had no idea who the band was but only that the music was rockin! He said,"well, its playin in the store, I can see that yur feelin it, customer gets it" Prolly helped that he saw I had a fat stack of greatness, but still. Super nice guys, Big ups to the 45 man there too! wow, that reggae section! Man...I Gotta get back up there! Keep on doin it Into The Music!

Really surprised to read some of the previous reviews! Had a great time sorting through stuff and…read morewalked out with several gems within the space of a lunch break. Yes, everything is piled up and nothing is organized, but... I always figure those are the best places to dig for treasure. True that some of the stuff is too far gone to have value, but that's in the minority. Don't look for price tags, they're not there - everything is up for negotiation, but the prices asked are reasonable.

This was a fun place to visit.

Odd curios and fun pop cultural memorabilia. I must have met one of the other two owners, as the one that I spoke with was quirky but amiable and entertaining. The stacks, however, are a bit tiresome to sort through.

Or maybe you just want to giggle at the funny posters and dusty wacky toys hidden in the store. Surprisingly, there is a bit of organization amidst the chaos and books are categorized in sections and separated from other stuff. I've found some pretty great stuff in the poetry / essays area. Check out the art and photography section - you might find a great tabletop book. If you're waiting for a table at any of the restaurants around the corner it's worth stopping into and the building is incredibly beautiful and old if you can get past the dust and paper. Good luck finding something!
