To be honest, I'm kinda surprised that I haven't seen any music store chains pop up. People like records, CDs, cassettes and so on for the same reason.
Around here, vinyl records and local record stores are still doing alright. There's at least 4 if them I know of, and they also sell some cds and tapes still. It is a little odd that no chain has tried to break into that space (or one of the megacorps like Time-WB trying to revitalize some deadmall brand like Sam Goodies.)
Newbury Comics is one place that's also managed to hang in there, which is pretty cool
