Which are the best apps for finding record stores when traveling?

What do we want in a record store app?

Do any of them innovate to create synergy on the platform so that users can actualize leverage connectivity?
I am looking for one that builds localization into an intuitive experience with a minimum of native advertising.

    Thanks BB.
    I was serious, despite the buzz words.

    That web site is ugly. I tried down loading the app, but once again I don't know my apple store id. I suck at apple ids, seems they change with out my knowledge.

    The site is ugly but the app works ok for finding stores in an area.

    Would love a fully realised app with this concept, often have thought of this idea

    Downloaded the one above but it's basically US only. Showed up 3 record shops in the whole of the UK

    Imagine one that had all of the secret spots anywhere in the world... one can dream

    not sure if these people have an app
    http://www.vinylhub.com/

    the site turned up when I was searching for some record stores in my area. It's the first site I've seen that has anything in Brazil outside São Paulo, I think that says a lot.

    Vinylhub is great.
    Same people as discogs.

    I don't think there is an app for either.

    they seem to have the most thorough list of stores, not that I've searched much.

    I could use an app from both though. Or at least a better mobile interface. And a phone and phone plan that don't suck.
