Music.

Some people won't drive without it. Or can't study, etc.

Obviously not a harmful addiction, or even undesirable in most cases - but generally unacknowledged.

I like most music, but it doesn't occur to me to go out of my way to play it for myself.

I have ADHD, so music helps me maintain focus when I'm (usually) unmedicated. That being said, I do have a very strong media dependency, so I get where you're coming from.
