"Audio Streaming On The Internet Has Become A Little Difficult?"
Tue Apr-19-16 08:13 PM by user00197

          

Hey? I just have a question?

I really like to audio stream some tunes on the Internet every time I basically get on to the Internet and I am just wondering what is needed for all this audio streaming that is going on through the Internet and web browsers and stuff?


I am using Firefox, Web Browser Version 3.6.13, because I noticed that all these companies keep updating web browsers so much and I don't have a fast computer.

Can anyone explain what is needed for all this audio streaming that goes on on the Internet? I'm just trying to understand what is needed because I am planning on writing to some constantly used tune streaming services to keep all previous compatibilities with all previous web browser versions going as well.

Thanks for any help.

Using an up to date browser, like Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer would allow you to stream from places like NPR or Stitcher and also allow you access to YouTube and also Spotify (Spotify has a web version of their app).

Having a high-speed internet connection would help, but listening to music or even listening to music on YouTube wouldn't require alot of bandwidth / a fast connection.

If you don't have a fast connection at home, you could visit someone you know who does have reliable access to the internet or go to a library and download the browser onto a USB ("thumb") drive and then take the browser home and install it on your home computer.

If your computer is too slow for this, try using your phone over the wifi, maybe.

Thanks for the responses...... ?

This reply isn't really a reply, I'm not purposely putting the words out towards anyone in specific but I'm just hoping someone who does officially work on web browser software design does consider this:

I read the two replies that said to update the web browser program, and yeah I guess that's really the last option. I'm not complaining about it somehow, but I just keep wondering why the "officials" who work on web browser programs always recommend to update the web browser program, why can't they keep all previous web browser compatibilities going as well?

It's been those ""We're just going to keep the compatibilities going with just the updated web browser program versions only...."" type of decisions for some time now........since what? 2011 to up until now?

It's kind of concerning.

What if people can't afford those "fast" computers? What if people can't always afford computer parts like RAM memory chips or something? They gotta think about those kids who are growing up and going to school at the same time who need audio music to the side to help them concentrate on school class assignments. Yeah there's a radio, but you know, I'm talking about times when tracks that are on the playlists of radio stations just aren't complementary enough. Which can happen half of the time.............? At least a little bit of audio music streaming from the Internet is needed.

There are kids who struggle to learn and need some audio music to help them focus, some kids have parents that can't afford much too, some "officials" gotta consider those things as well. Just saying, that's all.

Thankfully, this message board is still accessible. Thankfully this message board doesn't need web browser software updates constantly.

Hopefully, the web browser developer officials consider all these concerns. I know there's gotta be a bunch of people who know technological updates aren't always needed. I don't know when the "audio streaming through a web browser program" updates started to expand out, but please keep audio streaming completely accessible. MySpace (from 2006-2008 or something like that) had some kind of proper, simple audio streaming going on, why can't audio streaming still be that simple? What is really going on? If an official is out there, please keep audio streaming simple to access. Any help is appreciated.

But yeah, it's all deep respect, deep optimism, deep safe peace, with plenty of hope.

?
