This is a cool loving project OP, and I hope the youngin can appreciate at least some of the music. I mean with 500 albums gotta be at least one they'll like, in the far future where music has cycled back to smooth jazz being the most mainstream genre. Seriously cool as beans 😎

Genuine counterpoint, people said that about vinyl but a big reason for vinyl resurgence wasn't because it was current or better, it was a nostalgic format that provided an experience for those who wanted it. It's still more convenient or efficient to just stream poo poo right now, but people of all ages are embracing vinyl again partially because it definitely isn't either of those. If the nephew or whatever doesn't care for the format or site or what the gently caress ever it honestly doesn't matter. In my opinion OP should continue as they are but assembling their own notes for each album into a handwritten booklet. Will the kid listen? Probably not. If they do will they even like any of it? Who knows! Will a hot shithead person appreciate the effort put in to this? Yeah. And if they don't, well, OP seems to enjoy the process and the kid can gently caress off. This is way better than buying a bottle of wine and ignoring it as many people do.

This is why I suggested having a writeup for each album, your personal notes, what you think they might enjoy or hate, etc. Yeah 500 albums are a big clump and they may never listen to it. But I'd be so loving stoked if I got a book someone had written that kind of tracked how I grew over time, reflected in random albums. Would I give a poo poo about Dave Matthews? Probably not. Would it be cool to see a writeup that was like "hey you've really learned to chill out recently and this is the sort of vibes I think you'd enjoy. Blah blah blah". Like someone paying attention to my personality over time and writing about how music may or may not work for me would personally thrill me. That'd be fantastic. Even if the MP3s themselves are useless they can use the book and just Spotify it or whatever service is going at the time. But presents were rare as gently caress for me, and thought out presents were non-existent, so maybe I'm just a weirdo.
