> For less than the price of 1 CD per month (and I used to buy WAY more than 1 CD per month) I have access to a near-infinite amount of music.

> I've added 49 full or partial albums to my library since 1/1/2025 for $78.

Counterpoint: I haven't bought a record in over 10 years. That is, I have added exactly zero full or partial albums to my library since 1/1/2014. Even though I stopped spending money, I didn't have to stop (legally) listening.

If your numbers are correct, this (being able to play the music that I've listened to over the last 10 years) is something would have cost me over $1500.
