Hi Francisco, this doesn't seem to have much (or anything) to do with Perl, but read my comments below.

I'd look into: * find a more efficient preview format (WAV is not compacted IIRC) * tuning the conversion to create smaller files, lowering quality * creating files on demand and then store (many files will probably never see a preview request) * buy more storage > So, I'm trying to get some ideas for this.

I might be wrong, but I think you need something called a "streaming server" in order to do streaming.
