    I went digital. I know that most likely hurts the audiophiles ears on here, but it's working out for me.
    When I lived in Seattle there was a guy that lived down the block. He would open up his basement for a weekend every few months. Huge collector of vinyl, CDs and DVDs. I sold him my collection when I moved to digital. My Digital collection is now 58,937 items (511.39 GBs). Just too much to keep on the shelf.

    actually mine is a combo

    I have a few CDs still and buy at Half Price Books prior to shutdown.

    Gave away a bunch but have them all on a puter. If I look in some storage boxes I might have more.

    Lost LPs in a divorce long time ago

    My jewel cases lasted until our last move. I lost count of the number o'discs, but I've got 5 big binders, and a couple of little ones for road trips.

    edit: I will still run across a couple when I'm digging thru a box looking for something else, and found one under my car seat about a month ago.

    Sitting in a 300 disc CD changer I thought I'd always own...in the attic of my trailer.

    If money was no object, I would love to have a high end DAC / Music streamer chock block full of higher res (than CD) digital files. But to download those is expensive. Usually $20.00 to $24.00 per album.

    Most of my serious listening is still analogue, but I find myself having to use the CD player a lot whenever the kids are around in the living room. Vinyl and small kids don't pair well. My CD player has a good DAC and USB input but Spotify still sounds like shit through it. So I rarely stream anything on my stereo.
