I am not a vinyl person but I am from santa barbara and can tell you that you shouldn't even bother w/ just play music, which is and always has been a crappy store. the cooler place downtown was morning glory, and that shut down a few years ago.

yelp says there is a place called 'warbler' and I vaguely remember going in once...I think that's probably it?

If you're going further east, check out Record Outlet in Thousand Oaks: http://recordoutlet.com/

I think Warbler is the only one left up there. American Pie moved down here to Ventura and is pretty expensive and located in a weird little office/warehouse thing. If you get south of SB I recommend Grady's (I work there, though, so kinda biased), Buffalo (expensive but they occasionally you'll find cool/weird stuff cheap), and second Record Outlet (most of the good stuff's in the new arrival stacks leaning against the counter).
