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.

  Once again I am shown another reason to be grateful my daughter shares my passion for music and appreciation for my modest gear. It all goes to her when I'm gone. I know she'll keep and love it as much as I have, maybe more. 

   I wish I had a useful suggestion for the OP, but thank you for reminding me how lucky I am.

@alaric62 same here. My son and daughter will be at odds over my gear and collections. 

Thank you for all the well thought-out suggestions. Those of you with family who value owning a nice music system and the music to go along with it are very fortunate!  Hopefully I have quite a few good years left in me, it's just that I have put so much of myself into optimizing my system and collecting quality recordings over the last five decades that while all is well I should search other like minded folks on this forum for ideas on how to proceed. Thank you to all who have responded.  Any further ideas are very welcome.  All the best!

hifiman5, I can understand your intent, but I wonder if they'll even bother to read it, particularly if it's lengthy and detailed. Instead, they'll probably just get rid of everything as a job lot.

I have a friend who took his collection to a shooting range and use all his records and CD’s as skeet! I saw the pictures and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.
