Hi Thomas,

AIFF is not a playlist file, but a file format for audio files.

Which audio API are you using (JMF vs. Java Sound)? Standard for streaming media is rtp, which is supported by JMF but not Java Sound. Both support direct http streaming of audio files, but both don't support any playlist files -- but it should be easy to parse them on the client and request the actual files with JMF or Java Sound.

What is MMS?

Thanks to Florian Bomers for supplying this answer!

Hi,

 

I am working on a project which involves creation of a music site which requires the users to sample music. I have created a servlet which upon recieving the request, makes a playlist file (.aiff), and presents it to the client. I can get it all correct - the playlist file, but the media player is not able to access the music file  through http. What can I do for this?
o   Is media streaming necessary?
o   Can I do with http itself without going in for mms protocol?
o   If I need to use mms protocol(as done by many music sites), what changes I have to make to the server? (I am using, Sun's J2EE1.3.1 Server.)

 

Can anyone help me out???

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE ! ! !
