It's a huge place in Austin, and they don't classify anything (except movie soundtracks, as I recall). For browsing, it's a pain in the ass, because you have to sift through all the hillbilly music, derivative top 40 crap, etc. For practical purposes like browsing, one can argue that a certain level of categorization is preferal, even if it means the usual misclassification. (like calling Kenny G jazz). Always two sides to every argument. . . .except the exploitative sides of capitalism (Hah!)
