Test: Streaming Audio

Test: Multi Sound file jukebox...
Jukebox Dancer Nunzio's Automated Jukebox

There are currently 22 songs in the jukebox, all encoded in MP3 format. Some songs are large in size, and although they might take a while to "fully" load for people with dial-up or slower internet connections, that should not propose any problem at all. Why? The music is "streamed" through the use of m3u playlist files and even for people with slower connections, the music will begin streaming immediately, even if the song file is not fully loaded.

See this article for more on how it is done... You can also incorporate the same technique for use on your own website.

Once the automated jukebox starts you can either allow the jukebox to automatically advance and play through each song in sequence without user intervention, or you may jump to any song you like by clicking on the respective song link. Lyrics for each song will be displayed in an auto-scrolling iframe as well.
