Audio streaming is the process of transmitting audio data over the internet in real-time, allowing it to be played back by the user as it is being received. Audio streaming can be used for a variety of purposes, including music and radio broadcasting, podcasts, and other types of audio content. Audio streaming typically involves the use of an audio encoder, which converts the audio data into a digital format, such as MP3 or AAC, and a streaming platform or service, such as Spotify or Apple Music, that makes the audio available to users. Audio streaming can be delivered using a variety of technologies, such as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) or Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), and can be played back on a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.
