KS, it might be a waste of time to write programs for this. All you need is MP3s and an .asx metafile, a playlist that points to those MP3s. The .asx file is the URL clients use to play the playlist. If the MP3s are served from a multimedia server (mms://etc.) rather than http:, I believe they cannot be downloaded by a client. That would a lot less work than writing a program!

If I understand what you're saying, you want to serve streaming audio over the network. Flash is great for multimedia presentations, but for pure audio it is overkill. Say you want to serve two songs, "Boom-boom-boom.mp3" and "Chilly Cha-Cha.mp3". You'd place them in a folder on your http server. Instead of providing the URLs to the MP3 directly, you will create a .ASX metafile (msdn.microsoft.com has all the details). The hyperlink on your page that users will click on will be something like, "http://board.nanaplaza.com/audio/muzak.asx". When a user clicks the hyperlink, Medial Player will consume the asx file and resolve the references to the two .mp3 files, and it will play them in a streaming mode. For an example, look at the site referenced above, http://www.the-same.org/monsoon-country/ and on that page there is a hyperlink called "Playlist." It refers to an .asx file which you can download and study. In this case, the media files (mp3) are served via http protocol. Many radio stations etc. are streamed from addresses that start with mms://www.blah.com/etc... . Those are MultiMedia Servers, and I don't know the details except I know that you can't download the MP3 files served in this manner. At least I can't so if someone tells me how to do it I would most appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 As long as they are set so they can't be downloaded, it should be OK, shouldn't it? I'm no expert on Thai copyright law, but I'd imagine that any kind of public performance without permission would be an infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
