Streaming MP3 clips via html and Window Media Player

[fanaddicts]

I have music clips converted for my website, along with the html codes.. now what? I am Using Front Page 2002.
I need to know if I need to arrange anything special with the server Pow Web ahead of time prior to launch to be able to activate these streams?
Inquiring minds need some help now..

thanks

Are you planning on streaming them from your own hard drive? If not, then check the file sizes of your videos. Maximum allowable file upload is 10mbs for Powweb servers.

Typically, true streaming video requires 'streams' that are set up by the host. You set up 'streams' based upon how many users you may have viewing simultaneously.

Check with Powweb support to get info on their streaming support.

MP3 is not a streaming format although broadband users may be able to stream it. For streaming content use the RealMedia format for the RealPlayer or the WindowsMedia format for the Windows Media Player. Windows media info and download of the WindowsMedia encoder 7.1 here:

For light duty use you can stream from your web site using HTTP. For heavy duty use you'll need a RealServer or WindowsMedia Server.
