- To enjoy audio and video
programming you will need software called a

- 3. What is the difference
between streaming and downloading?

- When downloading you have to
wait for the entire file to download before you
can
- view it. This requires a lot of
time and network resources. The entire process
can
- take some time, especially with
large files through slow modems. Until
streaming
- media came along, this was the
conventional way of transferring and playing
- sound and video. Streaming
media is the process of playing a sound or video
clip
- during downloading. Live events
by their very nature cannot be downloaded.

just one media player to my computer?

- Websites of companies that
produce them. See our Media Tools section for a
list
- of links to popular

-
-
- Miscellaneous
-
- 1. Can't I find media files,
music and events through the usual Internet
search
- engines?
-
- Yes, but it requires you to
wade through a lot of unnecessary information.
Most
- search engines that "crawl" the
Web do not locate the actual media file but
instead
- locate a Web page that includes
the words requested in your search
parameters.
- This results in a huge
avalanche of information that you probably don't
require.
- With wwbc.net you also have the
advantage of getting updated listings to
ensure
- accuracy and relevance to your
search for quality audio and video streaming.
-
-

downloadable audio file that is encoded to provide
good
- sound quality within a
relatively small file size. This is made possible
by
- compressing the key elements.
That's why these files take less time to
transfer.
-
-
- 4. What might prevent a
connection to a radio station?
-
- Radio stations that broadcast
over the Internet have a limited number of
streams.
- When they reach the maximum
number of users at a given time, no more
- connections are available. Once
a listener disconnects, it's again possible to
get
- through.
