Hi guys,

Just a quick question. I've got a .wav file and I'm using RealPlayer to stream it and I wanted to know what you guys use for streaming .wav files.

Thanks... :)

Do you mean on a website, or just on your computer?

Website :p

Most people hate realplayer so I was wondering what you guys use to stream your .wav files.

Stream it as a bgsound, or QTIME plug-in (more common). Most users won't even be able to hear it because they don't have realplayer installed.

I had thought about doing just that but it doesn't work with the site's format. In the end it's all good since I placed a link for them to download RealPlayer should they want to.

Thank You!

Ah, I found a good way of getting .wav files to stream. Check out the following link and view its source to find out how I did it.

You can also play mp3's in this format... Fantastic!

It's working fine on my end.

Would someone else want to check this to see if it's working on your end: http://www.beholdhecomes.net/listen_who_is_the_Holy_Spirit.html

I got the script from an mp3 site so it should work.

Thanks...

Pathetic IE only script.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most people using IE? :cool:

You really should have something that works for everyone. Over 3/4 of my visitors use Firefox.

Sounds good but it's impossible. The best anyone can do is to place a link for their users to download whatever software they’ll need to listen to whatever your streaming. One of the things I did for this particular mp3 was to place a link so that my visitors can download it.

It’s kind of cool because I used a text-to-speech software to make the mp3 file, it simply reads out what's on the page. The page is pretty long so as it turns out, it was a good idea.
