I uploaded a half hour of music on my web site adventurefilmproductionscanada.com
I EXPECTED that a visitor would just click on the AFP radio program line and the music would start. But what HAPPENS is the music starts to download. This music file is huge and nobody will spend a couple of hours downloading. What can I do to just make the music start when a visitor clicks on it. The code that I used in my index is click here to listen to AFP's radio program[/url]

Thanks a lotThere are two options:

1. An embedded player (e.g. Window Media Player).
2. A streamed feed (e.g. Shoutcast).

Both have their pros and cons.Thanks for your answer.  What is the code for embedding the media player?  And, if you had the choose, would you choose this action or streaming?

Once again thanksYou can't upload 30 minutes of music to a website unless you stream it.

Do you have any idea how MUCH bandwith you'd waste on 30 minutes of music? A shitload. Either look into streaming music or play MIDI files... I suggest you do neither, though. Music on websites is annoying.Thanks Raptor,

One of the things our company does is provide clasical music shows.  I uploaded the half hour program using dial up. It took 20 hours.  Are you saying that I should have uploaded it by streaming it?  I just want the OPTION for visitors to either click on the show to listen to it or ignore it.  I don't want it to download. I don't want it to start automatically.  Is there a code I can use to allow visitors to listen immediatly when they click on it.

Thanks muchStreaming just MEANS that people do not have to download everything at once, but rather in small segments so they can listen to it on the website. Howeve,r it requires expertise that I do not have so I can't tell you.

IF you're going to be uploading a lot of files, get broadband. 20 hours of dial-up ticks.....   Ask your web host whether they offer streaming services.  If you're very lucky, they won't charge you extra.
