Old CDs and records


I just came to the very belated realization that my many years’ collection of thousands of CDs  and (most likely) records are probably extinct and hence worthless. Unless I go through the arduous task of cataloguing each and every disc for resale, the mass collection is just so much junk. 
I could donate the collection.  But, at this point, does anyone want antiquated technology when streaming is so easy and prevalent. 
Anyone have any ideas?

Ironically, since writing this post, I’ve been playing some of my old records and rediscovering them.

Depending on what I music is, I too would be interested in buying CD's. I just the last days with computer problems because a computer program I have been using, decided to upgrade. Mind you, the tool was more than fine and it is and what is added is of minimum improvement. The horrible part is the new update which has to be paid for, disabled the software I had be using and had paid full price for. 

I do not want to see this happen to music, which is a passion of mine and believe old school records and vinyl will forever have a place. 

I also stream but I like owning things as opposed to renting them. I want to have the option of quitting if I want to.

I’m enjoying the records so much I’m investigating the purchase of a new turntable.

How’s  that for a quick turnaround??? 
Impulsive?   
Yes, I know.

Then along comes Streaming.  Now audiophiles seem to be saying, the standard for great streaming is, if it equals CD in sound quality.  Am I missing something?

 

We're all getting older and the harsh practicalities of the world are difficult to argue with.

All you need to do is to rip your collection to a hard drive/ USB and then play it back via a PC/laptop, or as in my case, a smartphone.

Plus the fact that streaming is so so convenient and comfortable.

Just set up your desired playlist and then forget about the material world for a while.

The LP is never going to be obsolete, but I can't see what advantage the convenient CD has over the even more convenient streaming options.
