Is there any shops in Buenos Aires with new music, I mean cd-albums with new music and where can I find them, in central Buenos Aires.

I am trying to buy music from iTunes, but I cant make it to work here. It doesnt seem to be an iTunes Music store for Argentina??
 
The list is good, but my favorites are

Zivals- Corrientes y Callao. Huge, knowledgable staff, and most cds you can listen to before buying.

Notorious- Callao, between Charcas y Paraguay.
Again, great staff who know their stuff, in house music shows many nights.

Miles- Honduras, in Palermo Soho. once again, the staff knows that Gaby Kerpel is also King Coya, and can really help steer you to stuff that you would like if you give them some clues.

These three will usually have almost any argentine music you want, or can get it. Many of the local record companies dont press huge amounts, and most record stores here dont order hundreds of copies, so sometimes it can take some time to track down older CD's.

Now if what you are interested in is imported, euro or US stuff, again, all three are pretty good- but expect to pay- its not uncommon for imported CDs to be double and sometimes even triple what local music costs.
Me, I eat local, and I listen local. When in BsAs, I consume local music. There is lots and lots of it, in every category, and a lot of it is world class.

type in the name of any band, it will give you a list of music blogs about it. Most will have links for free (illegal) downloads of the album in question.

you may need a program to decode a RAR file- those, too, are available free online- I use Vise.

Lots of stuff out there on the internet that you could not buy even if you wanted to- out of print stuff, things that are so obscure that they are hardly worth the trouble to put them on the itunes store, or things nobody owns!

I have been listening to this great 70's peruvian psychedelia lately by El Polen-

I think you would be hard pressed to find a copy for sale, even in Lima. But its free right there online.
 
How about the book store El Ateneo on Santa Fe Ave and Callao? They have a good selection of CDs. This cannot be that hard! Also, if you maintain a US address with on-line stores like Itunes, the Apple Store and Amazon, you can download almost anything you want directly to your computer here. I believe if you don't have a US billing address, you can still download some things.
 
I bought a US copy of Microsoft Office for Mac from Amazon via a download. I was told by Amazon that the only reason my order went through was because of my US billing address.
