@Jordan2 Your post made me laugh, let me tell you why........DH just recently donated about 200 cassette tapes, yes that's right cassette tapes!!!!  (LOL)    We have a store called "Savers" in our area that takes just about everything you can imagine.  That place has been a Godsend for me.  When we downsized we dropped off car loads over there, it's great.   They sell the used merchandise very cheap.    Anyway, he also has a collection of DVD's and CD's which we actually still use.  He has many movies he would never part with.   Same thing with the music, so we will hold on to those for sure.   Good luck in your decision

We donate all of our books to them. They are one of the few places that will take books.

I am old school.  I still have a DVD player and many DVDs.  I cannot part with them.  I do not stream movies.  Whenever I feel nostalgic I just pop in one of my many DVD's into the DVD player and watch a movie.

I still have and use CDs, DVDs, 2 DVD players & a VCR. 

I also have 100 blank CD stack. 

I burn music & videos for my children & grandchildren.

I also have 100 blank DVD stack.  I burn movies and make slide shows from videos & photos for friends & family (for FREE).  If any of their friends want one too, I charge.

My car has a CD player.  I factory ordered my car which enabled me to "customize" to add what I wanted.

I'm in my 70s and CDs are long gone ( I have audible on Amazon and use my Echo Studio).  We no longer buy movies ( multiple streaming services) but last week our internet was out for 2 1/2 days(kids shot at fiber optic cable) so the two huge books of DVDs we still have came in very handy( once we remembered where we'd put them).

I like movies from the 30's/40's and some are STILL only available on VHS no DVDs and arent shown on streaming services.....so I have an "antique" TV with a built in player in my bedroom that I use to watch these old classic movies

I also have a FEW DVDS mostly selected classic  movies, a lot of them Christmas classics that I want to watch when I want to see them during the Holidays. And I have a portable DVD player to view them.  Most computers no longer have a DVD drive anymore either.

I was mad that Apple grabbed the Peanuts library so Im glad I have the Peanut's collection on DVDS. I dont plan to subscribe to any streaming services especially Apple.....The Peanut's Gang collection are classics that been enjoyed and passed on to generations and shouldve been left as  public domain, Im glad PBS was given permission to show the Peanut's Christmas Show once but Apple will put the clamps on it one day to entice people to subscribe to their streaming service...SMH!

I also have a very small CD collection of "best of" music from some favorite singers/groups that I play on my Bose....I also do Spotify for music too...

I agree with you about not finding some movies on streaming services.  I like 60's and 70's movies that I can only find on DVDs.  Like another poster said if your internet shuts down you cannot watch movies.  My television sometimes acts up but the DVD player is still able to work.

I cannot imagine throwing away my VHS tape of "Life With Father" with William Powell and Irene Dunn.  The second son in that movie was Martin Milner.  I grew up on his Adam-12.

I  have sevaral DVD's, but my player no longer works. Guess I should play them on my computer. Of course, that's on it's last legs, too, and shuts down whenever it feels like it.

I still buy DVDs and I still rent them from Netflix.

I have a lot of DVDs - my favorite movies and others - why would I get rid of them?

I stream too.  

I also have tons of CDs - I really miss having a CD player in my car.

Got rid of cassettes and 8 tracks (yes 8 tracks) years ago.  But I still have a lot of VHS tapes.  I should get rid of those.  They fade eventually.
