HMV brand could survive administration

Hi Just having the same debate over the kitchen table, one of the few surfaces without any CDs/DVDs/Vinyl on it. I think they could learn a lot from the independent record store experience. Access to knowledgeable staff, proper listening booths not just a sweaty set of headphones that don't work properly, more music (in lots of stores music seems secondary to games/dvds etc) stores, a cafe area and choice that appeals across the age ranges, especially those of us who grew up buying music that way. OK some of this might not work on a mass scale but there's got to be some value added in going to the store. I hope they manage to regroup somehow.
