I'm sure you're not the only one, just the first one with the balls to admit it.
Let me ask you another question, JonnyD, do you consider your cd's as a collection? Why I ask is because I have a friend like you, his stuff is scatered all over the house, and he does not consider it a collection, even though he has over 1000 cd's it's just music to him. Like one time he spent $50 on an LP and asked me to put it on CD for him, then he told me to just keep the LP. To me that's crazy but to him he got what he wanted, the music. Don't get me wrong, the music is the driving factor, but the "hunt" for that rarity is also part of it for me.
