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?

In 1987 I bought my first CD player and CD's in Germany. In 1990 I sold my Thorens TD320 turntable and got rid of about 90 albums. I thought record albums were DONE. Do I wish I had the Thorens and albums back? yep.

In the early 80s, I bought my first CD player and CD's in Germany also.  After seeing and hearing the Sony Rep demonstrate the player, I thanked the Lord.   

My Thorens TD126MKll and all 700 albums went into the closet / garage.  Where they will stay.

Different strokes.

Cheers

 

@rvpiano I don't know how you decide on a daily basis what to listen to, but looking over your physical library sometimes you must decide to pull something out that you'd half forgotten about.  I have no idea how (or if) the algorithms work on the major streaming sites for classical music, particularly the composers and pieces off the beaten track, but given all the extra expense from where I am now, I'm not inclined to experiment.
