Watching movie trailers is one of the more popular uses for streaming media. By going to one of the movie sites and clicking on the trailer you get the preview of the film you are thinking about seeing. Rather than downloading the movie or music you just play it via the Internet through media streaming. This saves a lot of downloading time and space on your hard drive. As anyone who had done any downloading of music or video files knows, the files are large and take a long time to download.
Media steaming provides instant playing.
If you don't have a high speed Internet connection, then media streaming is probably not something you will want to access. This is because streaming media requires lots of bandwidth and only those individuals with high speed broadband connections can access it properly. Without the latest technology the experience can be frustrating. On the other hand you may want to pay attention for future reference because like everything on the Internet the future is already past. In order to play streaming files you need to download a player.
