Which is better for releasing music: burning a CD or streaming it?

CDs also have the element of being a collectible, which can make them special to fans.

Streaming, on the other hand, provides music in digital format and can make it widely accessible. Streaming distribution is mainly used by the younger generation, and is an effective means of cultivating a new fan base.

When deciding which one to choose, you need to consider your goals for your musical activities, target audience, budget, etc. It is also important to carefully research information on CD production and streaming distribution to find the method that best suits your musical activities.
