What customers say

Louisiana Music Factory is on the edge of the French Quarter. If you drive parking isn’t easy and the neighborhood is about like you’d expect for that section of town. But it’s worth the effort to get in there. They have a great selection of local music and lots of cds vinyl and DVDs.

Amazing record store. In New Orleans for Mardi Gras and couldn't leave without grabbing some vinyls from this store to take back home.....and they didn't disappoint. See you next year during Mardi Gras 2026!

Went in a mission to find some rare soul and funk by the Meters. I found exactly what I was looking for. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They had albums CDs cool T shirts. You can pick up some unique items here. Top Notch!
