About movies and music

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.

Nothing is automatically stored locally (besides the temporary cache files). You have to start the download to get a download.
