I don't know what OS you're using, but if I use streaming audio, I can always drop the window that running it into a second desktop (I have four on my Linix installation, and I think Macs have multiple ones too) so I can never close it by accident. Probably does slow the system down a little, but I don't notice much.
If you have an extra older computer, like an old notebook, you might be better hooking up a $100 500 Gig drive to it and ripping all your CDs. It's very freeing, being able to queue up as much music as you want, though, of course, depending on your system, sound quality might be an issue...
