Web live radio transmission
-
Dear friends, I've visited a web site of a private radio station. In that site you can listen to radio transmission "live". I want to make similar project. But i don't know the technology used to get the live radio transmission to web via ASP pages. Can you tell me how is it possible ??? Radio station is not a problem for me, but the problem is that how to place the live radio transmission on the web. The site i visited is: www.fm100pakistan.com Imtiaz

they are using Windows Media Server, you would need a Win2KServer or 2003 Server box, setup to use windows media services (available at the add/remove programs - > system COmponents level). to h**l with that though (in my mind) because then only people with Win boxes can use it... Look into using Flash to do what you want. They have a streaming product called Comm Server that I use very regularly. It works great, can get costly, but is available as a hosted service from other companies. Plus, better than 90% of all surfers on the net have the Flash player so there is no need to install anything additional (unless they do not have the Flash Player, but in that case, they most likely dont have Win Media either. Hope that helps. - Sage
