You can get to know an artist just as well by streaming as you can be buying the physical album. You don't even have to have a strong internet connection anyways because if you have an mp3 player then you can just take the mp3 files that you do have and use that to take them everywhere with you. I do that.

I can stream albums first and if I like them just download them on the spot since I'm still a Zune customer paying to rent these files....grrr that idea gets under my skin but yeah.
