Canadian owned and operated since 1991, The Beat Goes On bills itself as the country's largest seller of used physical media, and the shop reads that way: new and used CDs and LPs sorted by genre, box sets, coloured vinyl and picture discs, Blu-rays and DVDs, TV box sets and video games going back to Atari and Sega. It buys from the public in store or by mail, ships free across Canada on orders over $99, and runs a locker programme for regulars.
