Written by Val Waldeck January 3, 2006 I would like to make it possible for visitors to listen to my audio files from my web site, without downloading them. Can someone advise me how to do this? Thank you for the digest, Adam. This is the only newsletter I actually spend time reading .. and I have done for years. I have learned much. Val Waldeck valwaldeck.com Written by Donald Nelson January 4, 2006 Dear All, In LED 2066 Val Waldeck asked how to stream audio files. Here is a simple trick which I learned in an earlier LED discussion on this same topic. Upload an MP3 file to your server: let's suppose the file name is sample.mp3. Then make a text file and in that text file you only write the following: http://www.yoursite.com/sample.mp3. save this file as sample2.m3u and upload it to your website. Whenever someone goes to your file http://www.yoursite.com/sample2.m3u then the sample.mp3 file will stream (using whatever sound software the user has installed on her computer). This is the way to stream files without buying any software. Alternatively, there are different software packages costing from $30 to $100 which convert your audio file into a flash file. This flash file usually will display on your site with a push button, pause button, stop button. Some programs of this type are audiomakerpro and mp3soundstream. There are several others as well. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Donald Nelson a1-optimization.com Written by Ronni Rhodes January 4, 2006 The best way to do this is with Flash audio, Val. Not only does this deter people from downloading, but Flash also produces a quality audio file that is cross platform. Keep in mind, however, that "determined" people will always find a way - even if they simply place a mike next to their speakers.:-) HTH! Ronni Rhodes wbcimaging.com Comments (0)
