How do you listen to your music?
• Do you have a large stack of CDs?
• How about a crate of old records?
• Maybe you even have a dusty collection of 8-tracks or an iPod full of mp3 files.
These are what you probably think of when you want to listen to music, however, one of the fastest growing formats for music is streaming.
Streaming is the use of a computer, cell phone, or other technology to have music (or other media, such as movies) delivered to your device.
