I totally don't expect it, so I qualify. Big smile

It would probably physically kill you though.  I'm not sure if I want a big set of prog CDs, or any CDs or that matter to hit me my lap and likely the genital area.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

My daughter will sell them all (3000 and growing) on ebay (individually to get the best price) for hopefully a large sum.  No dealer's going to get their hands on my collection for peanuts.

I'm kind of young to be thinking about this, but you never know...

I'd want it to be sent out in space so that'll be the first thing aliens hear about us when they decide to visit this planet.
I'm sure they'd like it. I'm one of their lost descendants, after all, and I love it. Cool

Ah well, you can't generalize aliens too much.

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 lessTongue

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.....

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 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 Evil Smile
What?

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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!

I have not seriously thought about it......I am not too worried about my collection going to the dumpster or some Nickelback fan LOL.
 
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.
