But he never seems to listen to it.

I can understand if you happen to have a mint condition, deluxe edition of Thriller or something and you want to keep it pristine. But Not having mounds of LP's that you never touch except to sort, stack, and collect.
eh...this doesn't seem so blasphemous to me. I have a couple hundred records, and I keep them in very specific order. It's more convenient for me to listen to mp3s, and I don't like moving around my records, lest they get of order; kind of OCD about that. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to records, and do relatively frequently, but I can see how it could be easy to just keep them as decorations.
