Preparing for Streamed Media Before media can be streamed, the files must be compressed into a format appropriate for streaming. Once the files have been compressed a metafile must be created to reference your file. Once your media files have been created, a code is inserted into your website referencing your media files so your listener can play the audio or video. Properly compressing the audio and video files may require purchasing software which can get costly. |

Is There An Alternative to Purchasing the Software? Yes, at Skygazer Records we pride ourselves with helping independent artists and the general public in their promotional endeavors. For as little as $1 a sound sample you can have Skygazer Records compress the files for you! We'll then either e-mail the files to you (depending on connection speed and number of samples we're sending) or place all of the sound samples onto a CD and mail them to you encoded and ready for you to insert into your website. We will also write the code for each sound sample ($1 per code written) if desired. You may also request an instructional sheet be mailed to you with helpful instructions on how to insert the codes properly into your website. It's a simple and cost effective way to add streamed media to your website! |
