Ah, well just my collection of The Cure on CD. That friend's gf at the time worked at Rasputin's Records in Berkeley and did a lot of the ordering for the goth/industrial sections so they went to a good home to someone who could appreciate them. I kept the rest of my CDs and vinyl and cassettes and such. Heck, I still have my parents' vinyl!

I still purchase physical copies of music (and when possible, get the artists to sign them; which is relatively easy these days as it turns out! Since, so few "fans" actually seem to still purchase physical music anymore.) but I have digitized a lot of it. I deejay and am a turntablist with more than one licensed DVS (Digital Vinyl Simulation) system and as a coder myself, am aghast at how awful Mixxx's source code is (as in: I cannot build it from source, despite repeated attempts, and I am actually really good at building things from source, even if the source code is more or less undocumented).

I definitely have a lot of projects and more physical desires than I have financial resources for, but some aspects of human incarnation seem to go with the territory. Before MP3s were in vogue, I even helped a friend lug his Amiga 2000 into a radio station so we could "spin" MOD (Music On Disk) files over the airwaves so it's not as if I am attached to physical media; so much as I strive to share the best possible audio with others, in whatever format(s) that may be when I deejay.
