[x] Earnings (loss) per common share amounts are computed by dividing net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. For purposes of earnings per share computations, shares of
common stock under the Company's employee stock ownership plan are not
considered outstanding until they are committed to be released. Common
stock equivalents related to stock options which would have a dilutive
effect based upon current market prices had no material effect on net
earnings (loss) per common share in each of the years presented in the
Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings and, accordingly, this

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants and Administrator of
The Musicland Group's Capital Accumulation Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Musicland Group's Capital Accumulation Plan as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Musicland
Group's Capital Accumulation Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedules of assets held for investment
purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THE MUSICLAND GROUP'S CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Musicland Group's Capital Accumulation
Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only and is
not a comprehensive description of the Plan. Therefore it does not include
all situations and limitations covered by the Plan. Participants should
refer to the Plan document, as amended, for more complete information.
GENERAL:
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible salaried and
hourly employees of The Musicland Group, Inc. (the "Company") who have
attained age 21 and completed one year of service, as defined.
The Plan also provides certain profit sharing benefits for eligible
employees who commenced employment after June 30, 1990 and who have attained
age 21 and completed six months continuous employment or one year of
service, as defined. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Benefits under the Plan
are covered by a trust agreement. In August 1995 the Plan was amended to add
an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), effective January 1, 1995, for
the purpose of replacing the Company's matching contributions.
A. Foster Higgins & Co., Inc., service provider to the Plan, administers the
assets of the Plan, directs execution of transactions, directs the trustee
to make benefit payments on behalf of the Plan and maintains records for
the loans to participants. Piper Trust Company (the "Trustee") serves as
the Plan's trustee.
NOTE PAYABLE:
During 1995, the Company loaned the Plan $9,997,485 through the issuance of
a promissory note to purchase 1,042,900 shares of Musicland Stores
Corporation common stock ("Musicland Common Stock"). The promissory note
bears interest at prime (8.75% at August 10, 1995) adjusted annually on
August 10, and is due in ten equal annual principal installments with
interest on the unpaid principal. As the Company makes contributions to
the Plan, the Plan makes principal payments to the Company and allocates
an appropriate percentage of Musicland Common Stock to eligible employees'
accounts. The promissory note is collateralized by the unallocated shares
held by the Plan.
CONTRIBUTIONS:
Participants may elect to make pretax salary reduction contributions of up
to 17% of annual base salaries. Highly compensated participants are
limited to pretax salary reduction contributions of 4% of annual base pay.
Annual salary reduction contributions are limited to $9,240 for each
participant as required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The Company may

matching contribution of zero to 100% of all salary reduction contributions
to the extent that such contributions for the plan year do not exceed 4% of
participants' earnings. The Company may make an annual profit sharing
contribution for eligible employees under an age-and-service-weighted unit
allocation formula. Forfeitures greater than administrative costs are used
to reduce the Company's matching contributions.
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS:
Participants may allocate their contributions to any of six investment
funds, which are administered by A. Foster Higgins & Co., Inc. As of
December 31, 1995, the investment funds were as follows:

in a diversified portfolio of insurance contracts from insurance
companies.
2. Income Fund of America, a current income and capital growth fund with
balanced investments in stocks and bonds.
3. Aim Charter Fund, a growth and income fund investing primarily in
dividend-paying common stocks.
4. 20th Century Growth Investors, an aggressive growth-oriented fund
primarily investing in stock of smaller companies which do not pay
regular dividends.
5. Templeton Foreign Fund, a fund investing in foreign stocks and
securities.
6. Musicland Common Stock, a fund investing in the common stock of
Musicland Stores Corporation which is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "MLG".
The Guaranteed Interest Account (8.2%) is a fixed interest fund guaranteed
by UNUM Life Insurance Company ("UNUM"). Effective December 31, 1991, the
Guaranteed Interest Account was no longer an investment option. The 20th
Century Select Investors was a fund investing primarily in stocks that are
growth-oriented but which pay regular dividends. Effective October 1,
1994, the 20th Century Select Investors fund was no longer an investment
option. The Company makes a portion of its profit sharing contribution to
the Vanguard Index 500 Fund, the Collective Stable Asset Fund, and the
Income Fund of America. The Vanguard Index 500 Fund is not available as an
investment option to participants contributing to the Plan.

4. TAX STATUS
The Plan is a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Pursuant to the favorable IRS determination letter dated August 12,
1986, the Plan is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code. A determination letter has been applied for
as a result of the amendments adopted in 1989 and 1993, including those
relating to the Tax Reform Act of 1986. A new determination letter will be
applied for as a result of the Plan amendment adopted in 1995 adding the
ESOP. The Plan sponsor and legal counsel are of the opinion that the Plan
meets the IRS requirements and therefore continues to be tax exempt.
