If this is the L.A. Amoeba, they've been there for years, if not since it
opened. They used to always be upstairs along the railing next to the
video/DVD section. If they are somewhere else now, it's possible that they may have
moved them so that they'd get more exposure. I've used them a few times, but
there's almost always been a wait.

Funny thing, I went to Amoeba today, and they have added digital listening
stations. Either I haven't been in a long time, they added these recently,
or I'm very unobservant. There's a huge database, and I was able to listen
to the first 10 tracks for each of the 6 albums I was thinking of buying (I
decided to buy 5 of them).
You can search the database for an album, or if you have the cd in your
hand, you can scan the bar code to find the album. Because you don't have
to stick a cd in a player, you're not limited to listening to used cd's.
And unlike at Virgin's listening stations, you're not limited to the 100 or
so cd's they're trying to push. You can preview 1000's of cd's. Amoeba
also doesn't blast the instore music, so your ears don't have that
distraction when you're trying to judge whether a cd is worth buying (a big
pet peeve I have with Virgin and some other stores).
