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?

I like most would take that collection off your hands.there are many cds and records out there that you won't find on any streaming service. About 20% of my music collection is not found on any streaming service. Also the sound of vymal is so much more rich warm and natural then digital music. I have found unless you plan to spend like 15000 or more on like a LINN streaming  unit  you are not going to hear the quality of music your vynal will produce.

Send the LPs my way.  Bin the CDs.

Streaming is robbing artists by (sometimes) paying them a small fraction of what they used to earn from physical sales.  In addition to those sellers who do pay something, he industry is rife with cheating and theft.

If streamers are comfortable with that, bully for them in this material world.

Is Fremer moving to TAS?  I’d love picking up Stereophile and not having to skip his latest review of a $100K turntable.  His new site will concentrate on “affordable audio”?  Yeah right.  Won’t he miss his $10K cartridges?

  Regarding the OP, its a retirement project.  Frankly, I relish the thought of retiring, wading through my collection, cataloging it and listening to stuff I hadn’t listened to in years.  Labor of Love, not something to gripe about
