This one hits home. You have my compassion and sympathies. Letting go is difficult

Good writing! When we moved from West 69th to West 84th st we had to reduce two book cases. I took all the DVD’s and Blu-Rays and chucked the cases, took out the covers and got these binders which stores the dvd and the cover. It saved a lot of space. For the CD’s I chucked the cases and the covers (unless they were autographed Inkept the whole thing then) and out all the CD’s in spindles and placed them
In storage. That saved a ton of space to get rid of all that plastic. I figured if I ever lose my audio files I’ll still have a back-up.

Which even that is antiquated. In Brooklyn people throw out CDs and DVDs all the time, they place them on their stoops for free. I sometimes stop and pickup some (just the dvd and not the case). I’m probably like the old man in the 1980’s that would pick up broken fans left out in trash- “Ya can still fix it and make them as good as new!” .

Old friends are the best friends. Ask me about my Atari 800 in the garage. I had a lot of good times with that machine and I can’t stand to throw away an old friend.

The DVDs and CDs are more complicated. Discard those and you discard your intellectual property rights to that material. To paraphrase a famous line, the media is the license, even if it isn’t the message anymore.
And of course finally on any level moving sucks.
