Ten thousand Brazilian records were given to the ARChive of Contemporary Music where they form the Zero Freitas Brazilian Music Collection. Those duplicates are now beginning to be sold off. The collection includes many rareties such as "Heartache Souvenirs"/"Chicken Shack," by William Powell but it also includes up to 30% duplication. The records are cleaned and cataloged by a team of assistants that he has recruited but he is acquiring new material faster than they can work and only 250,000 records have been processed so far. He collects 33, 45 and 78 rpm records of any style of music or speech. Freitas was unable to explain why he continues to acquire so many records, saying "I’ve gone to therapy for 40 years to try to explain this to myself". By March 2015, his collection was estimated at six million, making his the largest record collection in existence. At that time he was estimated to have "several million" records. The extent of Freitas's collection was first revealed to the world after details were published in an article in The New York Times Magazine in August 2014. The collection of around three million records took eight semi-trailers to move. Also in 2013, Freitas bought the collection of Paul Mawhinney of Record-Rama, once itself thought to be the largest in the world. Around 2013 he bought the collection of Murray Gershenz, the former proprietor of the Music Man Murray record shop in Los Angeles. He bought the remaining stock of 200,000 records from Colony Records in New York's Times Square after the store's 2012 closure and bought the stock of the Rio de Janeiro's Modern Sound store around the same time.

Until recently, most of Freitas's buying was anonymous. By the time he was 30, Freitas had acquired about 25–30,000 records. Freitas studied music composition at college then took over the family transport business which ran buses in the state of São Paulo. By the time Freitas left high school he had 3,000 records. The first record he bought was Canta para a Juventude by Roberto Carlos, which he acquired around December 1964 or January 1965. His mother, who had a collection of 400–500 records, also influenced Freitas. The collection was damaged in a flood and Freitas later recreated it. When he was a child, his father bought a hi-fi stereo that came with 200 albums, thus kindling Freitas's interest in the area.
