<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>> -----

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>>
