Thinking about random stuff as i was at work today, this topic came into my thoughts and another angle to Christophers argumant that there's no point of a record collection came to mind.

By suggesting this Christopher , you are also saying that there's no point in buying any music - either as downloads or hard copies. After all , you buy music to keep don't you - that's what buying things is all about. You buy things you like , so you can keep them. So by owning some music , you are also 'collecting' it by default.

Just a thought.
