Streaming M3u's...

[John Patrick]

Here's my site: http://www.motorcityrock.com

I have a streaming audio feature set up using a M3u file and a bunch of
MP3's: http://www.motorcityrock.com/mcr_radio/mcr_radio.html. When then
visitor clicks on the link the M3u kicks in and the songs play in the
pre-determined order. That works great, but everytime a visitor clicks the
link the songs start from the beginning. Is there a simple way (using
Javascript or?) to keep the M3u "running" in the background all the time so
that all visitors will hear the same song at the same time...just like a
traditional radio station?

Thanks!

Hi John,

This clearly seems to be something you can only force serverside.
Even when you would succeed to implement something clientside (using
JavaScript), the best you could even do is to check the local PC's clock and
based on this information start you music at a specific position.

Even if you would succeed in doing so (which seems very hard if not
impossible in the first place), you can never trust the local PC's date/time
