Audio Streaming

Audio streaming is the continuous transmission of audio data over the internet. It allows users to listen to music, podcasts, or other audio content in real-time without needing to download the entire file beforehand. Audio streaming operates by sending audio content in small packets that are played back immediately upon arrival, enabling a seamless listening experience. Popular platforms for audio streaming include services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. Audio streaming technology employs various codecs and protocols to efficiently deliver high-quality sound while minimizing buffering and latency. This method has transformed how consumers access and experience audio content, moving away from traditional physical media and downloads towards on-demand access via the internet.
