My solution is YouTube first, then buy

I don't download or stream, unlike others. What I do..

1. Listen to different performances on YouTube
2. If the recording is older, mono, or mp3 quality then just continue to listen on YT
3. If I really like the recording and I want full CD audio quality, I buy the CD off Amazon or eBay.

I'm a musician like many others here, and I'm familiar with a lot of the repertoire so I'm only interested in performances I really like. It may be different if you just want to listen to the music and are not too bothered about the performers, but I can't relate to that.

I do at least 50% of my listening on YouTube, maybe more. All my music is on my computer anyway, so easy to switch back to iTunes.
