 Online Media Streaming is the method of providing audio or
video to users through the internet. The "streaming" means that the
audio, or video, is sent out in small packages and which can be played
immediately by the user withought having to download the whole media
file.
Streaming media online to listeners is a great way to keep visitors
on your website, or if your business includes broadcasting, radio or
video, enabling your website visitors to listen to your programmes
online is a whole new world that is a must for you.
A study of all the large websites that are focused on providing
services for the user, will reveal that nearly all include some form of
media streaming. A good show of just how important streaming media is
for the user of your website.
Online Media is so popular, even personal websites have simple
background sounds or movies embedded on their webpages. Though most of
these simple methods can provide the user with a great experience, they
are not suited for a large collection of media, and this is not what
streaming media is. Embedding sound in your website requires the user
to download the whole sound file before they can listen to the music,
or even view your webpage.
There are some limits of streaming media over http (hypertext
transfer protocol) however. Each media file even though can be
streamed, have to exist in entirety for streaming to be possible. This
means you cannot create media on the fly and stream it over http in
real time. There are other more advanced methods of streaming media in
real time, which is discussed in our Services section under Media
Streaming.
