Most of what I listen to are files stored on hard drives.that is also considered streaming. Which means using a streaming protocol (DLNA, Airplay, Chromecast, SlimProto, etc.) on a networked computer as your music source. The content could be internet based services, radio or server stored digital files. I mostly stream FLAC files from an SSD based NAS using multiple endpoints which are also called streamers.
I prefer using tiny, stripped down Linux based platforms (140 MB) for playback instead of using a general purpose OS like Windows or MacOS (2+ GB). There really isn't a need for running hundreds of unrelated processes for music. They require far less power at 5-7V and generate less RFI.
