<DIV><BR></DIV>Steve skrev:<BR>> (Yes, I can reduce my font size.) Thanks
for the great reply. I could <BR>> use just a little further clarification,
please. I program with <BR>> various softwares, so I'm not
inexperienced. I do not prefer to <BR>> require my site visitors to
open/save files. I would prefer to stream <BR>> transparently for
those who have an appropriate player. These <BR>> clips range from 2
to 7 megs. So trying to put together what you and <BR>> I have
written, would you perhaps say that Icecast would be desirable <BR>> for my
purposes and would probably be fairly easy for me to set up, <BR>> and that
it would not require anything but a compatible player for my <BR>>
visitors?<BR><BR>If you want to stream individual clips, Icecast is not for
you. Your web <BR>server will do. The most usual way of getting an external
player to play <BR>the clip streaming, instead of downloading it first, is to
create a <BR>playlist file (possibly generated on the fly) for each clip. This
would <BR>then be downloaded, opened by the external player, which then
streams <BR>the clip from your<BR>web server.<BR><BR>Icecast is for live
streaming of audio and would not improve your <BR>situation of your delivering
on-demand clips. For streaming<BR>with an external player, it uses the same
method as I outlined above and <BR>acts as a web server that only transfers
the audio<BR>at the same rate it is created by the live
feed.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Oscar<BR><BR>> -----

*Subject:* Re: [Vorbis] icecast<BR>><BR>> Hello
Steve,<BR>><BR>> If all you need is your users
to download files to play them locally,<BR>> then
Icecast is not something you need. Icecast is for streaming.
If<BR>> you had an online radio it would be very
useful to you, though.<BR>><BR>> Furthermore,
Icecast is not easy to setup for the
inexperienced<BR>> computer-user, albeit after
setting up correctly, you probably<BR>> wouldn't
have a need to touch it again ever. The process
is<BR>> transparent for the users, though.
They only need to open the<BR>> streaming file on
winamp or any other audio player with stream
support<BR>> and that's
it.<BR>><BR>> Can I ask you a favor? Would
you reduce the font size on your future<BR>>
messages? Or disable HTML e-mail completely if that works out
better<BR>> for you. It's somewhat
annoying.<BR>><BR>>
