I've never understood the point of streaming. We have devices that can hold hours days WEEKS of music, and instead people choose to suck up bandwidth streaming music onto their device like it's a transistor radio? Sure, streaming's better than radio because the listener has some more control and choices... but I never understood using it vs. listening to excerpts of tracks on iTunes or Amazon and buying them. And I don't know how artists really made money from radio playback, but it would seem like it should work roughly the same way.
