You might not have a large enough collection to need something like this, but there are plenty of valid reasons:
1. Insurance purposes -- if you have a large collection, keeping a list is a good idea in case of fire, theft, etc. (I'd also recommend taking pictures of the collection.)
2. Send a list of what you have to friends / family so they can get you CDs/DVDs/books for Christmas/birtdays/whatever without worrying about duplicating what you have already.
3. Send the list to friends you might want to swap media with. "Oh, hey, I see you've got David Bowie's 'Heroes,' can I borrow that?"

4. Most importantly, just because you can.
