End of Life Issues

I can't imagine trying to decide how to pass on something that means so much to you and your identity. I'm 39 and I prefer vinyl to digital. There's just something about the warmth of the sound, the hiss, the physical touch of the music when you drop the needle, and the sheer pleasure of holding that album cover and relishing in the liner notes and the cover art. I get that....unfortunately my kids, at least right now, don't get it. My own collection would likely end up in a used record store bin or worse if I were to die tomorrow. As someone else mentioned, if you can't find someone to pass along the collection to, a donation to the local library would be a nice touch.
