Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime

Yes. I gave up and am getting rid of my CDs. Keeping my vinyl (2,000)… I should be able to do that… now, streaming that is a problem.

I am not a hoarder (no pun intended) so I have downsized my Vinyl and CD collection to under 500. Everything else is now digitized and neatly stored in a 8 TB’s of SSD storage. They get more playing time now than ever in physical form. Couldn’t be any happier with lots of extra space and quick accessibility to my favorite albums.

Just enjoy music regardless of how and where it’s stored!

8 TB for 500 albums?  I have not filled 8 TB for 5,000 cds ripped to WAV files.  I know someone who went through his record collection in order to pare it down to the "essential" 15,000.

I don’t think the 8TB is full. It’s just the total space @lalitk has. I do own some DSD albums that are about 2-4GB each.

I’ve gone the same route where I went from 600 to 400 vinyl about six months ago. Luckily I’ve kept my digital library well organized and am selective about the quality of the music and the quality of the file, probably at 1000 albums or less. The usability of a network player’s search and browse functions become very important in delivering a frictionless experience.
