Your music collection when you will die

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.

I actually have thought about it.  Yeah, no kids, so either my wife can sell them if she lives longer or donate them to a library, school or public.  I think it's actually rather valuable, so if I were to die today aaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggg

To be quite frank, I have not thought about it much.  I would prefer my collection to go to someone, singular or plural, who would appreciate it.  Since it is vast, near 4,000 titles, and in multiple forms (CD, downloads, cassettes, lps [fortunately no more 8-tracks]), and diverse (Various genres of rock including prog, blues, classical, International, jazz) this may be a difficult undertaking.  I only have a couple of friends who are into Prog specifically, so I would want that part to go to them.  I am 51 with no kids.  I have, however, nine nieces and nephews, but none of them are interested in Prog.  They are so normal they would probably see it all as that weird music their weird uncle listens to and not take it seriously in any way.

if my daughter don't want my coolection i will send to my university's discotheque.

I'm one of the elder statesmen on here, I guess; I'm 61 in Jan.

Have you ever thought that if one of us in PA dies suddenly, most probably other PA members will never find out? Such is the nature of virtual communities. Cherish your real life communities.   My computer is set up so that if I don't log on to it for a period of seven days (which would require my death), it will spam the hell out of all the libertarian threads.

So basically you are already dead...

I'm takin' everything with me......
