What is streaming?

What are the advantages of streaming audio?
There are several advantages for streaming. First, visitors could hear the sound very quickly. And 'we all know how important that Web surfers are impatient. Visitors to your site will be able to hear the sound as quickly as possible.
Let's see what happens when a visitor comes to your site and want to listen to MP3 audionot for the power.
In a non-streaming, creating links to your site points directly to the audio file on the server. When you click the window, a look that asks where to save the file, and once that decision was based on the file download begins. Audio probably as great as the odds will be loading a bit ', especially if the visitor with a slow Internet connection. The end result is that if the visitor to waitlong enough to complete the download – all excellent, but the disadvantage is that they have a copy of the computer's sound.
It may not be what you want, how could it be that your copyrighted material is gone. Although it is much easier to record streaming audio software with readily available today, no sense of what is necessary to make it easier for people to save your sound, can not decide that more large files stored on theircomputer.
If you were to put that same file stream, and a user clicks on the link, Windows Media Player, Real Audio Player or any other player your visitors to listen to the sound we make, that it will begin streaming within a very short time, and n make your visitors want to hear the sound. Notable is the time between a visitor clicks on the link and hear a sound is still dependent on their Internet connection speed, but will be veryfaster than a non-streaming files.
Audio Stream is hard to bear?
No! It 's easy, it's just a simple text file that contains a link to the MP3 stream you want. The M3U file is now stored in. "Extension. (Without the quotes). In other words, a small text file m3u used this as a" go between a link on your site should link to listen to audio files. All support for streaming is already in yourthe visitor's computer.
How do I Streaming Audio?
Learn how to configure the file. I assume you know what an HTML link or a WYSIWYG software to create one, but the easiest way is to use Notepad.
Imagine that your file is actually reggae.mp3 "and is in a folder named" mp3 "folder with the name of this store on a site" web "and is in 'drive C. The file path looks like outsideC: website/mp3s/reggae.mp3 and this file is uploaded to your website in the usual way.
Now we need the m3u file (we "go between") reggae.mp3 to link to link on your website creation. This file created by opening notepad and write your own Web address (URL) of the file path and name of the mp3 files. In our example would be:
http://www.website.net/mp3s/reggae.mp3
Now save the file as C: websitemp3sreggae.m3u (Make sure cabinet with the.m3u extension)upload to your website.
The next thing to do is link to your website that will point to the m3u file (we "go from one file to add) no mp3 files. In our case it will be http:// www.website.net/ mp3s/reggae.m3u
Now when a user clicks on the link to the m3u file is in action, the default player to open and start the mp3 stream.
Can I have more than one audio stream?
For more than an MP3 that you want to steam, creating a different"M3U" Notepad file for each download of MP3 files to your site and show your link to the new "m3u files.
I can always MP3 streaming?
If you have an mp3 track for the second straight, and then create a file with the.m3u as normal, but instead of a single file, you can list the mp3 file paths between them as follows:
http:// ww w.website.net/mp3s/reggae.mp3
http:// ww w.website.net/mp3s/reggae2.mp3
http:// www.website.net/mp3s/reggae3.mp3
So in this case, when someone has a link on your site that opens reggae2.mp3 reggae.mp3 followed by followed by reggae3.mp3
I hope this tutorial helped you with your streaming audio.
