About 15 years ago I got rid of almost all of my physical media. I was moving a lot at the time (I've moved 13 times over the last 20 years, several times to different cities) and I had hundreds of CDs, DVDs and books.. It was literally a quarter of my boxes every time I moved..

So I sold and donated all of it, kept what had special value, and re-acquired a lot of it digitally.

I still think I made the right decision, although every now and then I miss something specific and regret it, but I get over it pretty fast.
