Jack, I'm sure most of us would like to come to your house to help with this problem, but seriously, if there's a reputable used record dealer in your area, and the records are in good shape, you should be able to trade them in towards CD's, if that's what you want. What my dealer does is give half of the retail value in trade or one-fourth in cash. You might be surprised what some of your records could be worth. Other than that, you could probably find a library that would be pleased to get them, and then you could write off the value on your taxes. My best advice would be to keep them. I've made a concious effort to listen more to my LP's lately (CD's are so easy to play) and have been rewarded with a lot of forgotten material to learn as well as good listening. ONE DAY there'll be a song you wish you still had.

Good luck, Chet W.
