I get where u are coming from but music is a far more easier commodity to share around than many other forms of art. How can you extol the virtues of a great book unless physically giving them a copy or asking them to download it and read it for themselves?
Great pieces of artwork can be talked about and enthused upon but you really cannot experience the intimacy unless u own it or walk through a gallery and view it and even then it is not yours. It is not personal, it is a shared experience whereas music can be shared and be far more intimate at times.
So to get back to the original thread, is streaming enough? To pass on information it is virtually essential but to feel an emotional connection to the art u appreciate I answer no.
I have a lot more views on this but will wait for a few more replies.
