How to stream ?

MarcSalmon	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 1:12 PM i'm making a personal website for my music and just wondering if anyone knows how to make music stream hi-fi / lofi, like it does on this site? Many thanks for any help, Marc.
mawcs	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 1:54 PM You will need to have two sets of mp3s on your site, one HI and one LO. What defines HI and LO are up to you. After that, simply create an m3u playlist for each song and link to it. The browser and media player handles the rest. Hope that helps
Distilled1	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 3:05 PM Dosen't it also depend on the host? as I have to pay for the ability to stream from my site(to much bandwidth for what I pay) but hey thats what I'm here for I never tried it though maybe it would work I have downloadables up...
MarcSalmon	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 3:16 PM Mawcs, i've tried that but it doesn't work. thanks for your replies. - but looks like im going to have to figure out how to do it in flash.
Distilled1	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 3:28 PM If your a suscriber here you can deep link can't you? I havent tryed yet as I would rather try to bring the traffic here to help this great place grow! But that would alow you to have streem links at your site of the songs you have here for $4 a/month
mawcs	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 4:27 PM what part doesn't work, the HI/LO versions? or the m3u?
MarcSalmon	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 8:48 PM the m3u doesn't work. try it: http://www.marcsalmon.com/music/sometimes.m3u And distilled: i hadn't thought about that.. cheers
Distilled1	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 8:54 PM Yes the link opens but no play.. it may be your host do they allow streeming?
MarcSalmon	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 9:02 PM i think so. ive spoken to him he doesn't know what the problem is.
kyodylee	Date: January 29, 2004 @ 10:11 PM I just opened the link and it works fine. Listening to it right now. Very good BTW.
MarcSalmon	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 5:12 AM It does ???(thanks by the way) what program are u using to play it ??
ronnie71	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 6:53 AM didnt work for me though... i was using winamp.
utopiauk	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 7:09 AM Doesnt work with my Winamp 5. But it works fine with Media Player 9.
mawcs	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 10:23 AM Marc, when you want it to stream, you need to put the name of the song in URL format, like this: http://www.marcsalmon.com/music/Sometimes.mp3 That will allow most media players to stream from the URL as if it were a local disk.
mawcs	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 10:23 AM BTW: that url goes inside of your m3u, not the link itself.
MarcSalmon	Date: January 30, 2004 @ 8:57 PM Ah ha! Thanks mawcs. I edited the m3u file and put the full URL of the file and it works! thanks for everyones replies.
