A question about what "streaming" is

Time to replace the CD player.

Streaming sounds good, but what is it? 
Is it like satellite radio, which means, it's like listening to a radio show (like listening to FM radio)? Or can I play a song I want to hear at any time, more like a database where I can browse and play a song I want to hear?

Thanks.

Thanks, that's a big help. I went and checked out Tidal, I see how it works now.

Can I just use my Mac to stream, and get as good of quality as, say, a Cary DMS-550, $3500?

Am I sending the audio through my preamp like with a CD player?

Then I'd think the better DAC in the Cary will make it sound better than my Mac?

New to this stuff.

Thanks.
