What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?


I am typing up a document with all details of my system components and cables with approximate values.  No one else in the family knows anything about high end audio.  I suggested they sell the gear at US Audiomart.  What should I suggest they do with the vinyl and digital discs in my reasonably large collection?  I want them to get to others who can enjoy them when I no longer can. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

A resonant post.  While I think my son will assume ownership of my hardware (while perhaps not being as passionate about it as I've been ;-), my main concern is the appropriate disposition of collector sets I've accumulated.  As a long-time Deadhead, most of what needs deliberate effort are box sets of Dead releases that are worth 3x - 5x what I paid for them (based on what I see on ebay these days).    I'm talking about a strong 5-digit amount of dough.  From this thread, I picked up the valuable advice to catalog the most resellable pieces to facilitate the process of monetizing them for my heirs.  Great advice.  We ain't getting any younger!
