Same here; I have been listening to streaming stuff less and less...but my reasons are: 1. Between so many work/day-job meetings, seldom in front of a laptop with the opportunity to work with headphones, and music in the background. 2. When I'm mobile - and on my mobile/away from laptop - I'm just too stingy with my mobile data plan. (Maybe its my age, or cuz of family, but priorities of data plans change with growing families ;-)

>I'm just too stingy with my mobile data plan.

Yea that is exactly my sentiment. There was a time when I was cool to walk/drive about and listen to music. Now my data plan pushes me over the fence into silence.

This is where I really like Google Play Music. I can download the album/songs I want to listen to while I'm on WiFi at home, then when I'm on-the-go it just plays the local version rather than streaming.

Which streaming service do you use that doesn't allow offline caching?
