# What is Streaming?

Streaming is a way of playing audio as it is being received from a streaming server without having to transfer the file to your computer.

FreeAmp includes folders for streams you can play when you are connected to the Internet. The Relatable Recommended Streams folder contains recommended streams that suit your musical preferences based on what you've been listening to with FreeAmp. Relatable-recommended streams are automatically generated for users who've created a profile under Options.

You can even choose to save the streams as files on your computer to playback later.
