Audio Streaming
Audio streaming is a technology that enables the real-time or on-demand transmission of audio content over the internet without requiring users to download files. It works by sending audio data in a continuous flow, allowing playback to start while the rest of the data is still being transmitted. This is widely used for music services, podcasts, live broadcasts, and voice communication applications.
Developers should learn audio streaming to build applications like music platforms (e.g., Spotify), podcast apps, live radio services, or real-time voice chat systems. It's essential for handling large-scale audio delivery with low latency, supporting features such as adaptive bitrate streaming for varying network conditions, and integrating with cloud-based audio processing services.
