The document discusses the author's love of music and frustration with the high costs of purchasing and accessing it legally. The author spends over $500 per year on music through buying CDs and mp3s but still feels the prices are too high. The author argues for a streaming music service that would allow unlimited access to millions of songs for a low monthly fee, which could generate billions of dollars in revenue while making both music lovers and artists happy. The author believes this business model of widespread music streaming is inevitable.
