As a kid pre internet times I'd take my talk boy (the cassette recorder thing from home alone) and record the soundtracks as they came out of the TV. I'd have to ask my brothers to get to certain parts of the game so I could get that track. The quality was garbage but I could listen to Chrono trigger on the school bus. I'd just have to use imagination to hear as a symphony. No lyrics no playlist but that's about as good as I could get.
