Can I do streaming audio from my sites?

[windsurfer]

I would like to offer my clients the ability to stream mp3 audio files. Is there any way to do this from a jodo server?

you would need to set a MIME type for the server to recognize it.

Also, you can only do an "http stream" there is no special server for streaming mp3's like shoutcast or icecast.

what about live wma streaming? (like from a small radio station)
is this a possibility?

 

[Stephen]

Although it is built into the servers there is no way for us to do it in a managable fashion within hsphere.

(however wma http streams better than mp3)

Another option is a Flash based jukebox type animation thing. A search on A9 turned up a few.

yes flash will "stream" mp3s pretty well.

Thanks to everyone for the valuable advice. I will try flash.
