Clipstream
enables users to tune into your radio station without needing
to use an installed media player. The technology uses Java streaming
which enables a clear mono sound (stereo will be available in
Java 2). The advantage of using it is that listeners who wander
onto your web page can tune in whether they have a player installed
or not; there is no need to leave your site or be distracted with
a lengthy download and install process. Clipstream is also cross
platform to all Java-enabled browsers.
Clipstream
links are automatically displayed in the station directory page
here: http://www.pirateradionetwork.com
In the Pirate
Radio Network page, users can click on the title of the station
to bring up the Media Player to hear the default RD3 sound or
they can click on the Clipstream link to hear the Clipstream signal
(no player required).

Clipstream can also be inserted into a banner or even within
an email. Imagine playing your live broadcast, sending an email
to your friend, seeing them receive it on your listener log,
and blowing them away when you start to talk to them, live,
through their email message!
