- "Hear" just opened a retail store here in Berkeley.
-
- Capsule summary: interesting, but NOT a comprehensive
- store, and with a slightly fakey concept.
-
- The ides is, they have set up many many headphones, each
- connected to a multi-platter CD units, which are loaded with the
- recordings they wish to promote. You can listen to
- any of these, but only from track one on -- can't skip
- ahead -- this is a major drawback for browsers.
-
- I did not see anything to indicate this is a record
- store to frequent... not with Amoeba and Down Home each
- within a few miles...and Down Home will let you listen to any
- CD.
