streaming audio on a website

[Guy]

right then...

got a joomla website of a friend of mine but they want to stream some audio files as samples for people to listen to...

whats the best free module, plugin that I could use? they need to be able to play .wma and .wav files... if not then I need some way of converting them but retaining quality

this is the first time I have done anything with audio so your advice and guidance is appreciated

Try a web service like http://soundcloud.com/ Upload your audio to them, and then embed the audio into your webpage.
There's also http://www.mixcloud.com/ Same sort of thing.

What did the Joomla site say. Check the forums.

Soundcloud or similar as already suggested.

You need to avoid hosting the bandwidth yourself.

Even put it on youtube - doesn't matter where it goes.

Embedding is the way forward.

there isn't very much, only a couple of tracks... but it is all sorted now.. thank you

have used AllVideos (plugin) so that it can be skinned and either hosted on or off the site
