What is really the purpose of streaming??


What is really the main purpose on streaming?? Is it just a big convenience to have music and artists at your fingertips? Is it that you get a better sound than cds? What if you have a cd player with an exceptional DAC built in like the Rega Saturn R . To me when cds came out i never looked back on my LPs. I thought cd playback was the best. Now i hear alot of streaming talk. Can someone clarify this to me ?

@lowrider57 The music on your library has nothing to do with a streaming service it's stored on your hard drive or NAS or whatever. If you stop the streaming service you would lose your favorites or playlists you put together on the service account. Your own music would be intact. I hope that makes sense.
@lowrider57 you can't download anything from Tidal but on the app you can have an offline queue where you essentially do download stuff but you can only access it through the app. I do that on my phone so I can listen to stuff when I travel if I don't have wifi or a cell signal.
