Can I use Audacity to create a streaming file or a file that can be streamed and if not what would be a good way of taking an audio file and making it a streamable file,
Thanks,
Alan

Re: Creating a streaming audio file.
Anything you put on a streaming server will stream. It's an internet protocol, not an audio one.
It does have to be tuned. The hotter and higher quality the work, the more people with slow connections will not be able to hear it without jumping and stuttering. But if you pick a really low quality, everybody hears the show in "bad cellphone" quality.
Talk to the streaming company.
Most people have very poor uplink quality compared to down. A friend can download movies at a blistering rate, but his uplink (streaming) is only four times dialup. So he will not be hosting a streaming server anytime soon.
