I think that at least once a week. Other than one friend of mine, it never happens.

the thought crosses my mind. I'm leaving my collection to my youngest son. He can do what he wants with it. I wonder what physical format will be the standard in 2040, if there is still a physical format for recorded music then.

... and I've come to terms with the fact that I'm the only one that will ever think my CD collection is awesome, though portions of it can intersect with other people's tastes... and thank God for that or I'd REALLY be wasting my time here!
That may be the single greatest thruth ever written.
My album collection used to be awesome, as was my DVD collection. Eventually I achieved an inner peace with their awesomeness, in a zen-like way, and having reached that state was able to get rid of them and move on.
Everyone in my family (Kay, ex-wife (still friend) and 5 kids KNOW that under no circumstances once I'm gone can anyone other than my 2nd oldest (Peter the ghost) son inherit my cd/dvd collection. Pete knows to give them any scraps after he's done sorting through it. Not that any of them (other than my ex, who will take the "more recent" Neal Morse stuff, Randy G's Ajalon, Mike V.'s Kinetic Element, Kevin's Farpoint......she marvels that people who share her belief system can make music like the aforementioned folks, with a lyrical message that is right in her theological wheelhouse).
I want my collection to go where it will still be played.

LOVE that!

If there's a rock & roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band. And an *even better* record collection.
I already *have* met that special someone: ME!I know you can relate.

And in that sentence you define why you need extensive therapy!

Every record collector's nightmare, Goodwill Industries!
Well, when I'm gone, my family can do with it what they want. But, for now, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
How do you post that to Facebook? That would make a great status update.
Save it to your computer and then upload it to FB. Or send me a friend request (Esther Linetsky) and then share it from me. Where do you think I got it from?
I know when I'm gone, most of my collection will be thrown out. I guess it depends who is still around, as my brothers may want a few things. If they are gone too, its likely all going into a dumpster. Morbid topic of course, but I have no illusions there are many people who care about the awesomeness of my collection. And it is awesome of course!
I want my collection buried with me, a la the Egyptian Pharaohs.
Wait a minute here! I was told you CAN take it with you!
Somebody tell that kid to get his damned dirty fingers off the vinyl. I'll bet the first two tracks on all of his albums sound like crap.
The older I get, the better I was.
Same here. Charity-shop fodder much of my collection, though even they won't take the vinyl any more - and I still have a lot of vinyl (it's the gatefold sleeves...they're just so good). Isn't it strange though how things that can be so treasured by one person can be worthless crap to the next.I know when I'm gone, most of my collection will be thrown out.

Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays.
I like to think my collection will end up with a nephew or some other relative who will hopefully get into Prog some day.
But it will probably end up being sold off cheaply at garage sales. Hell, that's how I got a good portion of my collection in the first place.
But what will I care, having shuffled off this mortal coil!

I want them melted into a vinyl tombstone. Picture discs on the top edges like Dali clocks melting down....
