Dear M of H, you've raised a couple of issues here which no one else has been able to help with to date. You may be better off starting a new thread, but in tne mean time I'll help with the streaming part of your question as best I can.

If I take your request literally, here's how I would summarise it. You have some fantastic songs on tape which you would like to share with the world on your own Web site. You don't have bags of room on your site, but would like to cram as many songs on as possible. Storing raw sound files (Wave aka .WAV files) are out of the question because they're just too big - you might get one song recorded in mono into a 5 Meg file. So you need some way of compressing the .WAV files to smaller sizes. MP3 is one way to go but users still need specialist MP3 players (most of them now free, but not installed as a default on the vast population of PC's). Real Audio files lack the fidelity of near CD quality MP3 files, but are smaller, can be played on the more recent standard Media Player supplied with Windows (or can be obtained freely) and the Real Audio encoders are easy to use and (mostly) free. For listeners who don't have the wherewithal to download files, save them to disc and then retrieve them the Real Audio files can be played in real time - this can be called streaming (although I believe that this term is more often associated with live broadcasts). In any event the listener has the opportunity to store the Real Audio file and replay it later if so desired. Most importantly you are happy to accept that your listeners will mostly hear sound quality alin to what you may hear over a standard telephone service - or a bit better.

If this is a description of your needs I'll give you the simple HOW TO's in a separate messgae. Regards, John
