actually it is a proven fact that all the recorded music in the world backdated to the beginning of time fits snuggly into 500 GB's.

I don't know about that... I'd like to see that proof.
Even if you average album compressed down to 50 Megabytes,
that still only 20 Albums per Gigabyte or so... times 500 would mean
that there were only ever 10,000 albums recorded ???
