A good music store has excellent curation, which is still not a solved problem for online stores. (IMDB's "People who liked this also liked..." has got much worse over time.)

There's also a bunch of sub-culture signalling, which I accept is off-putting to many people. But the fact that at least two reasonably good films were set in record stores means something.

I'm not sure it's truly a solved problem for brick and mortar, either. For a big box, curation is generally done at the corporate level, and their staff are not much more knowledgeable than the average patron.
