Music played like Avex Radio

[mrAznnizeguy]

Does anyone know how to encode the music onto the internet so that you don't need to wait for it to finish download but will start playin? i dunno what its called but it works the same as the Avex internet radio station. because i have musics in my site thats like 1 mb and by the time you finish downloading it will take like at least 1 - 2 minutes. how do you do it when it starts playing after like 5 seconds?

That's called Streaming Audio, and all I personally know to get it is www.japanaradio.com or I get that through Apple iTunes. It plays it as it streams to your PC. ^_^

I use a program called Streamripper32, which allows you to rip from certain streams as long as you have the address. For example, I normally use this address for a trance station:

It's important to have the port number (usually something like 8000) to rip the stream, but you can listen to it as soon as it's started thru Winamp, and you can save it to your PC too !
