wolf_garcia,

"I can access any of my CDs quickly by sticking one in my CD player."

I conclude that you do not have one of the earlier SONY SACD players.

They were quite good but, man, you could take a shower before the music starts.

wolf_garcia,

Yes, digital photos can be printed on archival paper; however, the processes to produce film and digital are different. By choice of film, developers, timing, and printing techniques, a film photo can be different from the same image produced via a computer and Lightroom, then scanned.  There's a clear sense of personal satisfaction in the end results with film developing and printing.

I have Kodachromes dating back to 1939, and film negatives dating to 1941 - - and my Grandson has my old developing and printing stuff.

But, back to CDs: My somewhat extensive collection is 100% RedBook classical, and they spin quite nicely on a Bryston BCD-3. My grandchildren will inherit my CD collection and my 2 channel B ruston and Thiel system; meanwhile, I can contemplate the differences among  several Verdi Requiem CD issue - - Reiner, Giulini and Barenboim.   

I will keep all my CD's......  I wish I had kept all my 1200+ records I sold in 1986.  CD's were becoming the 'big' thing.  I got pennies on the dollar for them as folks had moved up to the new technology.  My collection was pretty much all mint, many of them were 'promos'.  They would be worth a butt load now!  Hang on to those CD's...
