Okay, based on what you described I agree that you are no longer a
record collector, but you still subscribe to lots of record collector
beliefs, such as making the Battles only about singles. Only record
collectors care about what format a song was issued on and only record
collectors separate songs on singles from songs only on albums.

And I don't agree that only the person being labeled gets to decide if
that label is correct or not. If that were true then Trump would get to
decide whether or not he is a narcissist and nobody else's opinion would
matter.
