| 194246 | 2003-11-24 01:38:00 | afternoon all Can anyone tell me what sort of traffic amount streaming radio broadcast use? Or is this a "how long is a piece of string" question? We are running Any@web (ex software) and have it monitoring all traffic types (audio, images etc) but after using an online radio broadcast (mms://mms2.streamcom.net/NZ923KD0k) I can't see my usage anywhere... Cheers and thanks for any help |

| 194247 | 2003-11-24 01:46:00 | Well on Live365, with the sort of stations I listen to, ie 1920's/30's in mono generally, with a low bit rate, it is roughly 15MB/hour, but I suppose high quality stereo would be at least 4 times that. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 194248 | 2003-11-24 03:21:00 | Thanks for the numbers Terry. What I'm really also after is what type of file I should be looking for after the user finishes listening... |

| 194249 | 2003-11-24 03:43:00 | As far as I know with streaming audio stations there isnt any file secretly stored away anywhere. When you end listening that's it. I use Real Encoder to record streaming audio that I want to keep to play again later. |

| 194250 | 2003-11-25 07:04:00 | So I should be looking for a .wav file, or....? can't see any files there that relate in anyway to streaming audio. | falvrez (390) | ||

| 194252 | 2003-11-25 20:25:00 | using the any@web software we use...it logs every file sent through to our router, but for the life of me can't see anything that relates to streaming radio... | falvrez (390) | ||
| 194253 | 2003-11-25 21:25:00 | Well, I've always assumed streaming audio sends a series of packets of data presumably encoded in a suitable format like Real Audio, or Windows Media etc, but not as a file as such. However I'm no expert on the detail. Each packet presumably would have some sort of identification for the player to recognise it, and the player will buffer these packets and sort them into sequence to give smooth playing. It isnt the same as downloading a complete audio file to play later. Maybe this is something else to mug up on, learning is never ending :) |
