I have to disagree with you on this. However, I base this only on my own experience so I may well be wrong. It seems to me that many people love the idea of collecting things. My friends that buy a lot of DVDs take pride in how many DVDs they own. I know that most of these DVD only get watched once then just sit on the shelf, but they like being able to say, "I have 1500 DVDs." The same goes for music. I know a ton of people who say, "I have over 25,000 mp3's," (or some large number) others say, "My Ipod is full or, I had to add a new hard drive to my computer just for music." So I think they do keep them. They may never listen to them, but I think they keep them.
To me it the same mentality that has people keeping stuff around their house that they don't need. They have items that they haven't used in years and may never use again, but they won't throw it out.
