Streaming media
is media that is consumed (heard or viewed) (mostly in the
form of clips) while it is being delivered. Streaming is more
a property of the delivery system than the media itself. The
distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed
over computer networks; most other delivery systems are either
inherently streaming (radio, television) or inherently non-streaming
(books, video cassettes, audio CDs).
The word "stream" is also used as
a verb, meaning to deliver streaming media.
