I have a lot of CDs and DVDs, and I am still debating whether I should get rid of them or not. I also have a lot of books, and I keep buying more. My books? I will continue to drag those around with me, I will continue to allow them space in my home. For one, I like to read, and I prefer hard copy. It's easier on the eyes, I can dog ear pages, and can even write in them if the spirit moves me. I have also gotten rid of books in the past, and then ended up buying them again years later when I felt the need to read them again. So it just makes sense to keep them.

I have no intention of getting rid of my CD collection and plan to continue purchasing them. I have a CD player in my car, and enjoy listening to them on long drives. I wish I had saved my Alpine 6 CD player, that was trunk mounted in my Honda Civic when I sold it, but wasn't really thinking about it. 😔 I also like to watch DVD''s, and don't belong to any streaming services. Yes, I'm "old fashioned"... I remember 45's, LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes, boom boxes, stereo systems! 🤗

Oh baby, you just said a mouth full. I do not play about my CDs and don’t even get me start talking about the custom burned ones I made from back in the day. When I die use them as frisbees for all I care. My car doesn’t have a CD player, if I would have realized that prior to my purchase that would have been a deal breaker. Now I use a small portable that plays through my car speakers. LOL

I built up an extremely large dvd collection over the years and it's something I still love and get joy from. The thing I didn't like was the amount of space they took up.... So I got rid of the cases only. The actual discs I kept and stored in a 300 cd wallet case which takes up probably 1/20th of the space 😀 Also, not saying you should do this, but you can convert DVD's and cd's to digital and store on a hard drive

I'm in a choir and the man who runs it also runs a choir for people with learning difficulties. Upon his suggestion I gave my cassettes and CDs to his other group and apparently they were much appreciated. And a while back a school for children with special needs were looking for a TV and video recorder combi. So search around for organisations that would appreciate your old mint condition clobber

I went through my CD collection and determined what do I still really listen to? I did make sure I had a digital copy saved that if I did want to listen to something but got rid of it, that I still had it backed up. I do like to keep hard copies of some DVD"s and CD's simply because streaming services now a days can have your favorite song/ movie one day and then a few days later, maybe a month later or a year later it is gone. I can't tell you how many people I still see that are upset that the Office is no longer on Netflix....well if you did have the physical copy yourself you could pop it in at anytime and watch it. :) The old adage whats old is new again comes to mind for me. For me as technology advances I don't want to necessarily keep advancing the forms of media I have because that itself can cause clutter in my life- my need to want what I had before and then still holding on to the old until the collection is complete, etc. Lots of wasted time, energy and money in a lot of senses.

Digital has its benefits but there is also many downfalls. I personally don't own any physical media but if you do and there's a movie or album you really love then I would say keep hold of it. Yes you can get it digitally but there is also a big chance one day it could be edited or removed, even if you paid for it. The ones you will never watch or listen to again? Donate them to a charity shop or other places. For example most navy bases still use physical media. Oil rigs do too.
