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 did say vast majority of artists always get screwed. I can't help we live in society/culture that doesn't value artists more highly. If we did, artists as a whole would have the power to alter supply/demand structure to favor themselves. As things stand only a select few have this power, this unchanged since before streaming. 

 

Streaming isn't the issue, power structures are, until that changes, things will remain as they always have.

Time to cue up that old quote attributed to Hunter S Thompson -

 

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench - a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs.

There’s also a negative side..."

 

Let's face it, half of the music business seems to be entirely devoted to endless lawsuits.

Another Hunter S Thompson classic:

"A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance."

So go ahead and toss them while you have the opportunity to. (Maybe I can pick through them at Value Village or The Sally Anne and grab a bargin or two...)
