Audio streaming

Hello all.

As previously I apologise if this is an often asked question, but............

On a site I am designing the client wants to incorporate a radio show/podcast.
A 45 minute mp3 file. Now obviously audio streaming is the way forward on this.
I have of course looked on the net for diffferent ways of doing this. But I'd
like to hear if any of you guys have actual experiences/suggestions to do this
in the most efficient/cost-effective way.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, as always.

Thanks Kenny.

Is this program a kind of shortcut way of doing things that you can do in
Flash anyway.
What I mean is, is this stuff you can do in Flash without having to pay out?

Sorry, just interested as I'm trying to cut costs.

yes you can do it in flash, but like everything else is the learning curb
around it, as a sure fire way of doing it within seconds then I found this
extension really brilliant.

Just hit :

insert > media > plugin

and link to your audio file. Make sure the plug in is about 50 pixels or more
wide and 16 deep and voila! It'll play with Quicktime / MediaPlayer, or
whatever else the viewer has. Easy. It needs to be at least 16 deep to display
the controls. (If you want them displayed).
