Dude, who even knows.
Quote reblogged from B Michael Tumblr with 24 notes
Since music has become an almost general amusement, nothing is more useful than a shop that has assembled all kinds of music from ancient to modern. Such is on offer at the business we are announcing today that will be opened the 22nd of this month… The subscription will be 24 livres per year, in exchange for which sum the subscriber can take whatever piece of music that they would like.

The first music subscription service, 1765. “He was promptly sued.”
From the blog post 250 Years of Music Subscription Services.
