I'm going through the same thing with my 1 1/2 year old son. The records are stashed away, but the CDs, DVDs, tapes, books, etc. are all unsafe. He loves opening up the cases and putting the discs into slots - in between the doors of the entertainment center, for example.

I bought one of those "burn your LPs to MP3" thingies. Actually, I'm turning them into .wav files. It is a LOT of work, and it is great to be able to listen to the albums again. I would regret just simply getting rid of them, but as I can get copies before they go away, I'm content. I have some sound software from a musical friend who does electronic music that is working wonders at getting them to sound a bit better than I would hope. I'm not much of an audiophile though, so I don't notice enough difference to really bug me. It definitely is a pain in the ass, especially with experimental albums from Game Theory trying to get everything broken into separate tracks. And I'm getting pretty good at dealing with the skips.
So far, I've gotten over $100 for the stuff I've sold. I've still got another couple of batches to go. Mainly The Residents are left, with some kids albums here and there and some Robyn Hitchcock. I am regretting the loss of the covers, liner notes and artwork, but we are outgrowing where we are living, and we need to make more room for our kid. As long as I still have the music; that's the important bit.
