An "on-demand" stream of a track that doesn't require the listener to download the file. Interactive streams allow listeners to listen to recordings at their request, thus generating mechanical royalties. Interactive streaming services, like Spotify, pay both performance and mechanical royalties, unlike non-interactive streaming services, like Pandora, which pay only performance royalties.
