I have CDs, cassettes or records for almost all of my songs on iTunes. I rarely buy from iTunes directly.

I think your beneficiaries would nherit your hard drive, and all songs thereon. Your iPod too would have all your music, and could be backed-up into iTunes with available software.

Probably, during your life, your children have already copied your music they do want.

My children may not be interested in most of my collection - I would consider leaving the CDs to interested people(or a library or radio station) in a Handwritten codicil to my will.
