Streaming Online Audio

Hi all,

Just a quick one today. We have recently been selling quite a number of MP3 recorders to churches to enable them to record their services simply and easily, then to take away the recorder and copy off the audio onto their computer ready for copying onto CD. This is so simple to do today, that many older recording mechanisms are becoming obsolete.

However, we heard today that one of our clients has gone one stage further, and is also posting the recordings onto the internet! What a great way to spread the word of God.

We had just one suggestion for this client to make the experience even easier for their users......

The old method they are using is to simply post the mp3 audio files as downloadable files on their web page. However, at 5Mb per sermon, it takes quite a long time before you can hear anything at all, even with a high speed broadband connection.

The new method we have suggested is to use Streaming Audio Techology which allows visitors to the site to listen to the recordings almost instantly.

Check out SoundStreamer, which we think is a fantastic application, and is very inexpensive. This application allows anyone to add streaming audio to their website, and it could be perfect for your church too!
