Hi Roger, hi all:
* "_passing metadata in a stream so that a HTML webplayer can show
artist and title_" can be accomplished extracting the ID3 tags from the
file and presenting them as JSON values, for example
* Sound.load(new URLRequest("07 - audio.mp3"));
* Some old tricks on the issue were done in the past. here the link of
an ECMAScript derivative from the past, if it serves you as a model ID3
tags Get/Receive [6].
But, please take in consideration:
* Not all webplayers stream music by obligation. Not all webplayers
are designed to play music.
* Sounds: Rings and bleeps of a mobile device or a computer device.
Audio meta tags should be applicable to the webplayer ( one file vs.
multiple files ).
* Streaming on the web: As I noticed to this group in my last email,
in our present days there is a growing demand for streaming by
scientific communities to publish audio conferences or talks.
* Concerning to my references WIPO et al, yes I agree , technology
should be considered neutral.
* The only important issue to consider would be the five seconds
minimum lenght.
Cheers
