Q: Are there any legal record/music shops in Beijing?

Something like HMV in the UK, where you can buy all the latest non-pirated albums?

I don't think the equivalent of HMV exists here in China. Piracy and a belated awakening to the awesomeness of rock and alternative music has ensured that the music market stays confined to it's small cell. There are more and more small, independant record shops popping up in Beijing which should be supported. There's one in 798 called Sugar Jar (opp. Galleria Continua) which specializes in Chinese rock and folk music. You'll find all the albums of Chinese rock/folk bands who've ever released an album here.

I also know of a CD shop on Xinjiekou. When you walk south from the subway station you'll eventually see it on the left hand side. They sel DVDs, note books, posters and of course CDs (selection of Western pop and rock as well as some Chinese rock albums.)

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
