Yes. I gave up and am getting rid of my CDs. Keeping my vinyl (2,000)… I should be able to do that… now, streaming that is a problem.
Vinyl, CD's and Digital Files Accumulated Over A Lifetime
...
I fully intend to listen to all of the music that I've purchased in my lifetime, and I am on schedule to do it by my 592nd birthday.

I am not a hoarder (no pun intended) so I have downsized my Vinyl and CD collection to under 500. Everything else is now digitized and neatly stored in a 8 TB’s of SSD storage. They get more playing time now than ever in physical form. Couldn’t be any happier with lots of extra space and quick accessibility to my favorite albums. Just enjoy music regardless of how and where it’s stored! |
I don’t think the 8TB is full. It’s just the total space @lalitk has. I do own some DSD albums that are about 2-4GB each. I’ve gone the same route where I went from 600 to 400 vinyl about six months ago. Luckily I’ve kept my digital library well organized and am selective about the quality of the music and the quality of the file, probably at 1000 albums or less. The usability of a network player’s search and browse functions become very important in delivering a frictionless experience. |
“8 TB for 500 albums?” The 500 is the number for my ‘elite’ physical media that is in addition to what’s on my 8TB’s SSD. The bulk of SSD drives holds SACD’s rips, DSD downloads and 1000+ CD rips. I didn’t ripped everything collected over the years, if it didn’t sound good; it was tossed over to Goodwill. |
