Hi everyone,
May I know, after I'd pay to watch movies and listening to songs, do I really need to download it?
For a HD movie, how long it shall takes the most (time) usually? And, will the movie file automatically stored in my local mac drive?
For streaming songs, says I listening into songs for about 2 hours, will it (as well as its cache) will automatically stored in my local mac drive too?
Thanks.

You don’t have to download movies to watch them. Online streaming (without fully downloading) will work just fine.
You don’t have to download music to listen to it. Online streaming (without fully downloading) will work just fine.
Nothing is automatically stored locally (besides the temporary cache files). You have to start the download to get a download.

No, not necessarily. Purchases (“buy” movies) stay linked to your account, but downloads are optional, even at a later time.

How about if I would like to purchase a HD movie?
That will consider as a download and will eats up my local drive storage for sure, right?
That's great. I'm sincerely thanks for your answers and time. Stay safe :)
Just to clarify, it would be advised to download and backup your purchases. If they were ever removed from the store by the provider then you would no longer have access to stream from the cloud.
Well noted. Thank you so much :)
You’re welcome
