Streaming Audio - Advanced Audio Streaming

By Sean Ray

What are some of the things you can do with audio streaming that really gives an advanced feel to your web site?

Perhaps one of the most flexible and effective ways to add sound to a website is through Flash files. Although you will need to purchase a program that can create the Flash files (which can be quite costly), Flash lets you import both WAV and MP3 files from which the program creates smaller files that will automatically load within your site. With Flash, you are in control. You can designate the quality level of your files, which will determine how large they will be. Flash files are also loopable (WAV files only), so you can create a continuous loop of sound.

You can also purchase pre-made Flash Loops. These are files that are professionally recorded and are on a nearly endless loop. Most of these files are small (about 20k) in size, thus allowing them to load very quickly on a site. You can get Flash Loops from www.flashmusictracks.com. With these, there is basically no down side. You get a small file with very professional-sounding music that is easy to incorporate on to your site.

So, as you can see, when considering incorporating audio into your site, there is much to think about. Once you decide you want to add an audio element, you will need to move onto decisions about what you want to say, how you want to say it, and in what file format you want it to be said. Audio can be a very effective tool, however, and should definitely be considered for use on most sites. It’s just a matter of using restraint and considering how the sounds you choose will complement and enhance what you want to say.
