What is a controller:

With HIFI Audio Stream you can stream audio invisibly from your website, the audio just plays when the page is loaded, but usually you will want to give your visitors control over the streaming. This is where the controllers come in, they are small Flash movies containing buttons that launch and stop the streaming. Some of them offer extra features such as pause, fast forward, rewind, even seeking to a position in the track and volume control! The files used in MP3 Sound Stream have now also been adapted for use in HIFI Audio Stream. The process is a little different but all the buttons still work.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You will need HIFIAS version 2.00 or above to use the extra controllers. This is because in version 2 a change to streaming/controllers was made to allow audio files up to a length of 4 hours 26 minutes to be used.

Standard set:

This set is supplied with the program. Quite a varied selection. Click the link below to check them out. Note there are 47 of them and the page might take a while to download. You would probably not normally have this many audio tracks on a page, but it is possible.
