how to stream audio files stored in a database?

[atom]

Hi there,

I already posted this on some other forums and I just can't work it out. So any information would be very much appreciated.

How can you play audio files stored in a database (Mysql - blob fields) in an internet browser ?

I'm trying to play the files by restricting the users from downloading the files. I just want them only to be able to listen to the files. That is, I don't want them to be able to point their browsers to the files and download it. Therefore, I don't want to use files stored on a web server.

Thanks

Hi,
streaming is handled by a media streaming server. For this you can use Windows Media Services 9 series which free and downloadable here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/distribute.aspx

Hope this helps
