Of course each of us must answer for ourselves.
For me it is answered by how much of my accumulation I may be able to listen to and enjoy. At my age, with 3,000 LPs, 3-400 CDs, and yes, even 100+ personally recorded cassettes I don't believe I'll be able to listen to it all. Plus in all honesty my tastes changed over the years so some recordings bought 20, 30, 40 years ago are no longer of interest.
So I set a goal to reduce my number of LPs by half. I expect that will bring it to a point where I can enjoy listening to anything I've kept. I'm not sure yet how many CDs I'll keep but I don't need/listen to all that I have. Regarding the cassettes, they include some good music but I've not listened to them for years so why should I keep any?
But then I consider myself a music lover, not a collector. I think that is part of the answer as well.
