Flash Audio - talking over each other
November 30, 2007 12:00 AM
For me, it's about streaming, load time, and plug-ins. I don't have a streaming media server, so my mp3 files don't stream and this causes a long load time on the first page where I have audio as there hasn't been time to preload the audio. Flash audio streams nicely w/o a media server. The long load time on the first audio page is also partly due to the plug in loading to play the mp3 file. No need to worry about that with flash, as the flash plug in is right there, and it's the same for all users, where with mp3s you don't know if it will be WMP, Real, Quicktime, etc.I don't claim to be an expert in this area, so anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
