What will become of my beloved CDs?

I have nearly 2000 CDs (DVDA, SACD, etc) and am very fond of them, or at least the music that is on them. However, it seems that music distribution is going to someday soon be totally on-line through downloads (True? When?). So, when most all of the music on my CDs is available in higher-quality on-line downloads (with artwork, I'm sure), what will become of my CDs? Will they be the shiny-silver equivalent to 8-Track tapes? Or, will they become a novelty and collectable? Should I seel them ASAP?? Any economists here???

"Will they be the shiny-silver equivalent to 8-Track tapes? "
Yes. 8-track tapes are worthless. I tried to sell mine not long ago and would up giving them to charity.
"Or, will they become a novelty and collectable?" No. See above.

They're just a space-wasting different medium for ones and zeros. Nothing to get nostalgic about.

The only thing harder to sell than 8 track tapes are laser discs. 😬

@geoffkait - I've got about twenty HD-DVDs if you're interested...

Possibly. What are the two best titles? As long as they’re not HD only. 🤗

@geoffkait - Not DVD-A, HD-DVD. You know, the video format that lost to BluRay? I bet on it, bought a player from Amazon, then Wal-Mart decided to stock only BluRay. Case closed...
