There are quite a few options available for adding audio to your web site.
Each software tool or service offers a little something different to separate
it from the competition.
MP3 Sound Stream Interface
MP3
Sound Stream provides you with the ability to create streaming audio
from previously recorded MP3 or WAV files. It not only generates the streaming
file, but also the animated Flash interface.
Sample of Flash controllers
It is in this latter capacity that MP3
Sound Stream really shines. The software comes with an extensive
library of Flash controllers -- almost 100 of them. These controllers are the
animated interfaces visitors see and use to play your audio on your web site.
Some use the familiar VCR play/pause interface while others are quite creative
-- a little man dances and moves while your audio plays. All are very colorful
and attractive.
MP3
Sound Stream has a simple interface, and I used it first time out
without reading the instructions or using their tutorials. You simply browse
to the location of the audio file, pick your interface, and it does the rest
in about a minute, depending upon the length of the audio file.
I wish MP3
Sound Stream would show you a preview of the interfaces without having
to launch an external web page, but one can't complain too much considering
how many different choices they give you for your Flash controller.
While MP3
Sound Stream does not record your MP3 or WAV files, their web
site does provide a link to free software along with helpful instructions
about how to use it to create your audio files. To download a demo of MP3
Sound Stream please click here.
