Real Time Digital Audio Streaming Over The Internet Network

The distributions of music over the internet have become the popular ways for the
music lovers to exchange their music experience. Since the file can be downloaded
easily, especially using the mp3 format, users don't have to wait for a long a time to
listen to any songs of their interest. Most of the music companies also have taken a step
in introducing their recording artist by allowing user to hear a preview ofthe songs
through websites, using the audio streaming technique. Ofcourse, they are several ways a
user can choose to listen to music, but the streaming is basically to create an alternative
way in broadcasting and to share the music experienced over the internet network. The
objective of this project is to create a system where two computers can listen to a high
quality audio through audio streaming in real-time. This project covers a network
programming, multimedia application and some of the softwareengineering knowledge
in implementing the audio streaming program. Using Visual Basic 6 as them main
programming language, both the networking programming and GUI or Graphical User
Interface ofthe program can be applied. The results produced are the full working
programthat enabled user to have a good qualityaudio streaming betweentwo computers
and also the project flow before and after the audio streaming. The founding from the
results are discussed and concluded as a whole, where the aim of the studies have been
fulfilled, thus making the project success. Finally, the author has made several
recommendations to improve the relevant study and future works.
