Records Tapes & Compact Discs (Retail) is an industry that specializes in the sale of physical music media such as vinyl records, cassette tapes, and CDs. This industry is a subset of the larger Record and Prerecorded Tape Stores (Retail) industry and is focused on providing consumers with a wide selection of music in physical form. The industry has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the rise of digital music streaming services, but it still remains a popular choice for music enthusiasts who prefer the tangible experience of owning physical copies of their favorite albums.
