My advice is to abandon all pretense of disguising the motivation for a record collection and embrace it for what it is: an unquestioning susceptibility to the brainwashing inherent in having been raised in a society of consumers for the dual purposes of comsumption and propagation of future generations of consumers.
I collect data, compare recordings, just enjoy the music, but it has to be as complete as possible to be useful.
The vast majority of record collectors do not rely on their record collection for financial subsistence, especially since a record collection is the product of discretionary income, which rules out the possibility that the collector is living on a subsistence level anyway.

When you start talking about record collections that grow by four or five discs each day, (I think the exact number was 4.7), uninterrupted for decades on end, one naturally suspects that the records are not being listened to.
Presumably, no. Then, the collection is one of unlistened-to discs and, as such, a waste, from which no one, not the collector and not anyone else, derives any pleasure.
The point of a collection of unlistened-to records is solely to satisfy a compulsive urge to own and to possess.

According to Bertil, "The Zorn collections are among the very finest in Sweden, and they're also internationally renowned.
The museum is a gem...with marvelous works of art (mostly Zorn's own art, but also of Rembrandt, Rubens, Courbet, etc.) Mora itself is beautifully situated as a connection point between Lake Siljan and Lake Orsa and is surrounded by a spectacular natural environment- mountains and deep forests.
He points out that there are many parallels between the lives of Zorn and Jussi: "One of them is that they both mastered so many different facets of their respective arts- Jussi in opera, operetta, lieder, songs, and oratorio and Zorn in watercolor, oil painting, etching, wood-carving, and sculpture.

 The Axiom of Choice and Zorn's Lemma
This seemingly trivial statement is known as the Axiom of Choice (since it says that we may choose a representative from each set) and has had a remarkable influence on the development of mathematics since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Also, if there is a clear unambiguous way to choose a specific element from each set (see the sections on Mathematical Logic and Set Theory to see how a mathematician formalizes the notion of a well-defined unambiguous definition), then choosing these well-defined objects is also justified (by the other axioms of set theory).
For a precise mathematical example, if you are given a collection of nonempty sets of natural numbers (recall that the natural numbers are 0,1,2,3,...), then you can choose the smallest element out of each set.
