LOL Thank you for adding some humor-it was looking bleak.
Yeah, my friends and family could take their picks, then donate the rest to somewhere. And PT's Half-Light will be played at my funeral....or The Cure.

Like most I would like my collection to go to someone who will appreciate it and get some use out of it. (Not just sell it off for cheap). Unfortunately, I can only think of three people that I know currently who would be interested and one of them already has probably 40-60% of what I have.
Maybe one day I'll have a wife and kids and they would be interested but I aint holding my breath.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Having a wife with the same musical tastes as me would seriously be magical. I'd cry happy tears every morning upon waking and probably start my own asinine religion.

I want them to bury me with CDs and external hard drive. I'm sure that'd make the afterlife easier.

I have not seriously thought about it......I am not too worried about my collection going to the dumpster or some Nickelback fan  .
My wife likes some of my music (Rush, DT, Genesis, Yes, Scorpions are her favs..) my boys also enjoy a lot of it....but my wife is very much protective of what we cherish.....Assuming I get hit by a bus and they scrape me off the pavement unexpectedly, she would NEVER get rid of any of it.....It would be one of those things she holds onto that she knew I enjoyed on a daily basis. And I know she would play my stuff regularly. She understands the value and rarity of some of my vinyl, but regardless if it were worth only 50cents......she would keep it.....I know that.
Plus she is a huge jazz listener so I know all my Coltrane, Miles is in good hands.

I want the album art taken out of my CD cases and used as decorations on my coffin.

Well, in my case, I guess I'd have to ask that only really cool stuff gets used on it. Certainly none of those covers with other people's faces.

I think my Son will probably want most of mine - he's got a very broad range in musical tastes - considering he's only 12!

Good point, upon further review I might even go so far as to limit the artwork used to that from my psych rock collection, I'm sure that would look pretty interesting.

This is something I've thought of before and it's been the closest anything has come to making me want to go digital. I just feel like after ion gone my physical collection will just be a lot of waste.
But, I enjoy it while I'm alive and don't have many other significant physical things (no car for
Example) so I think I'm ok in that regard.

me too ... I've told my kids to pack my collection with me when it's my time to go. trying to avoid these:
a) why didn't you bring your own records - we have only ABBA albums here ... b) my wife selling my collection and then going to a holiday with her new man, all costs paid by the money she got selling my dear records ...

^ I have no problems with option 2 - the effort required to sell them would be reward enough because I've told her some of them are worth something, but not which ones

Luckily my collection is not in CD-RW, otherwise she would re-write them all with ABBA, Boney M and stuff like that

Yes but if that were the case CD-RW isn't supposed to last as long as regular CD so you'd kind of have the last. Of course if all we've heard about them is true, the discs that is, ABBA on CD-RW probably would last forever. They haven't "gone away" yet and I don't expect they ever will. Just reading "ABBA" in your post made Dancing Queen pop into my head and never even listened to ABBA that much. Aaaaggghh!!! Excuse me, I'm now going to have to go and make love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee.

I forgot to mention, I really don't care what she does with my collection of CD's.......If she sells them and buys something nice with the cash, fine by me.
CD's are a dime a dozen.....

If I cared at all, I would come up with something creative like having
it ground into fine powder together with my body and have it flushed
down a solid gold toilet... But I really couldn't care less
