How in the f*** does that work out?
theres 31736 files if each file was brought from itunes at $0.99 each it would work out $31418.64 given the exchange rate im guessing between £10000 & £20000.

Now even with current music, tracks only cost £0.72 so best price from iTunes that lot would fetch £22,849.92 and if she bought the CDs at £6.99 per album with 12 tracks per CD would cost £18,486.22 so the musics "street value" is actually £36,305.78 less than claimed. All based on the assumption that none of this is bargain-basement stuff and all bought NEW!

I think that means the value is extremely inflated like the street price of drugs.
