How do you know the music you listen to now isn't bad?

Haha. I guess a combination of intuition and growing up. None of it is radio rock that I listened to as a kid/teen.

about 4-5 ft worth of vinyl, 2 shoeboxes of tapes, center console and driver side visor full of cds

Around 600 records, maybe 15 CDs and a crazy amount of mp3s (a couple terabytes).

My music folder says 191.951.306.196 bytes (192,01 GB) for 28.888 files. Here my CD/Vinyl/DVD collection: http://rateyourmusic...ection/boudi22/ (good site to organize your collection)

How big is your kettle? Mine holds two and a half cups worth.

maybe 2000 records but half of them are cheapos for 1-3€ and I don't have them at home, I only listened to 1/4

I don't have the room to store them so I don't even have a recordplayer atm, I'm really looking forward to move to another flat and bring my babies home.

850 GB/22 weeks 4 days; mostly lossless. Classical at >97% lossless.

That is on Computer. My CDs and Vinyl are about 200 CDs/500 Vinyl.

I recently logged all my records on discogs, just a nudge over 1,000. I'm cutting that right back, already donated some to the local charity shop (mostly junk). Around 300 will be sold off to a record store that buys collections, another 300 I've identified as of some value and will therefore be sold off via ebay/discogs/here. Anything that doesn't sell goes to the record shop. I've decided to keep about 200 of my nearest and dearest records. I lost the desire to DJ a long time ago, and with that a lot of records have just become surplus to requirements. I'll do the same with my CDs when I get the urge (again, around 1,000).

Digital collection is around 100GB, but that's slightly misleading as I'm a bit of a stickler for attaching decent quality album artwork. iTunes tells me just under 10,000 tracks.

Just wayyy too big, I got to cut it out someday the unnecessary I'm a collector, so once I like an artist I just keep on getting everything he has done.

2839 albums, 400GB. VBR0 or 1, made of 25% classical, 35% rock, 20% soundtracks, and only 10% of electro. And I don't count all the Dylan bootlegs, that's 500+ CD easily that I haven't got the time yet to rip.

I would not sell THAT many, but I don't know your collection!! I store most of my stuff at my fathers house.

A lot of it is late 90s/early 00s rubbish that I haven't played in over a decade, and have no desire to return to whatsoever. There's a lot of Ninja Tune records, which I've grown out of, if that's the correct expression to use here. I've found that most of the Warp stuff from that era I still enjoy, but the NT output is just quite dull to my ears.

Truth be told, I don't really know if the record store will take that many records, or even offer a decent amount of cash for them - whatever's left will prob go to the charity shop. The value of records in general has sunk like a stone over the years. The obvious culprit is the immediacy of digital music, and for the current generation of kids, I think the stigma of DJing with mp3s (Serato, etc) has long gone, so vinyl doesn't appeal so much anymore.
