But you never would have spent $100,000,000 on music. According to this [0] random blog, a cassete album cost about $8 in 1980, which translates to about $25 in today's dollars. You would need to buy a new album every 2 or 3 months to spend more than maintaining a streaming service. I'm sure that a lot of people did do so. However, I suspect that most people were like me (who grew up in the days of CDs) and just had a few that we owned and would reuse.
