I think eslite bookstore has quite good collection of music. Here is the website(only in Chinese): http://www.eslitebooks.com/cgi-bin/esli ... oid=-32980

Eslite also has one big store open 24hr in Tapei but I am not sure where it is.

There is one little shop just across the Zhongxiao Tower Store selling vinyls. Not much you can find. Try HMV UK on the internet. Cheap and bigger collection.

start on zhongxiao, walk into lane next to ming yao dept store... close to Ren'ai you will see a candy store on corner of another lane.... make left here.... it's a storefront.... if it's not there it must have been the next alley towards zhongxiao.... sorry not to be more exact

What kind of music are you looking for? If it's just any old thing, then try the second-hand store in the lane behind the Sunrise department store (NE corner of Chang'an and Fuxing).

There's also vinyl in the basement store on the east side of Chongqing South Road. It's probably around Xiangyang Street, but I don't remember for sure. To find it, walk south on Chongqing and look for the album covers just inside the narrow stairwell. This is a good place for kitchy Taiwanese album covers.

More vinyl (mainly of classical music) in the used CD store on the second (third?) floor of a place on a lane parallel to Zhongxiao West Road, a little southwest of Nova).

Another store worth checking is very close to the corner of Zhongxiao East Road Section 4 and Yanji Street. It's just south of Zhongxiao and just west of Yanji. But you can't get there from Yanji. Walk west on Zhongxiao from Yanji and then take the first left. Then take the first(?) right. It's near a hair salon.

The ridiculously overpriced Mondrian CD store is also near there. Go in the clothing store and then take the spiral staircase in the back.

Most of the vinyl in all these places is crap -- and overpriced crap, at that. But you might find something worthwhile if you look enough.
