I'm even more of a luddite--I think I have more sheet music than recorded music! Mostly stuff from my Mother who really enjoyed playing.

And I have Player Piano rolls, cylinders (mostly Edison Blue Amberol), several shelves of 78's (down from about 10,000 78's a few years ago).

We do International Folk Dance, and most of the music for that is in OGG format, taken from out-of-print 78's/45's or ripped from current (and yes, paid for) CD's. On that last point, so few people record this music that I feel it's important to offer them a financial incentive to continue putting in all the hard work. It may be a labor of love, but people still have to eat. :-)
