Audio Player

Greg Lewandowski
TANGO Interactive audio player delivers streaming audio. Audio stream is delivered using HTTP protocol from a web server. Audio streams are compresed using either GSM or ADPCM standards.

System requirements: Your computer must have audio card.

If you are connected over a slow line, the applet is not guaranteed to operate smoothly. ADPCM audio clips require at least 32 kbps; GSM clips require 13 kbps.

How to use: Audio applet comes with the interface that allows you to browse contents of the http server directories the same way as you browse files on local disk. Press "Browse" button in the main window to gain access to the browsing interface.

Browsing interface allows you to scan audio library contents. Selected clip is highlighted in red. The status line of the clip browser displays additional clip information.

To open a clip, select it and press "Open" button. The applet will start downloading the clip. How long you wait depends on the speed of your network connection.

To start playing the clip, press "Play" button in the audio window. The clip will play until you press stop, or until it reaches end of the file. You can stop the clip playback at any time and restart it by pressing "Rewind" button.

In a TANGO session, the master player controls playback on all slave player. They will start or stop synchronously.
