Streaming Audio

[Cerebral Believer]

Hi All,

I plan to use streaming audio on my site. I had uploaded some .mp3's as
part of a trial, and these streamed very badly so I tried .ram (RealAudio)
files instead. The RealAudio files are a lot smaller in size, but they do
not stream, a user has to download the file before listening to it.

Which format would you recommend for good to high quality audio streaming?

Should RealAudio files stream? If so how can I get them to stream?

Do I need to contact my hosting company for to enquire about some kind of
special server set up to enable streaming?

Regards,
C.B.

The question wasn't about HTML anyway, so these weren't the best choices
of newsgroups.
