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.
