Actually, I used to play the hell out of my cd's...nowadays, I only stream "new music" either once or just a few times, simply because most of the stuff out today is garbage...I find myself streaming old music on repeat instead.

And with cd's, at least you know people are interested to buy your music...with streaming, everyone can listen to the music and decide whether or not they like it...and that counts toward streaming sales...not necessarily the same thing. So streaming doesn't directly reflect interest.
