StreamS Live Legacy Encoder
Deliver Legacy High Quality Audio Streams
Internet streaming audio is now a viable means of delivering quality content to a mass audience. This IS the new era of radio. Internet streaming is no longer a hobby or a toy. Hundreds of millions of desktop computers, smartphones, automotive dashboards, and other player devices allow easy access and can reach your audience with quality that can exceed traditional terrestrial and satellite radio. This is provided the right streaming encoders are used.
StreamS Live Legacy Encoder - Key Features
StreamS Live Legacy Encoder supports legacy media servers including Icecast2, SHOUTcast, and SHOUTcast2.
Don’t have a media server? Not needed anymore to deliver live streams!
Consider using Streams Live HLSdirect™/DASHdirect™ Encoder which only requires a web server or cloud storage for scaleable, higher reliability and quality delivery, to reach a larger audience at lower cost.
High fidelity wideband floating-point audio encoder engines provide the highest coded audio quality.
Not all streaming audio encoders are created equal. They all have different audio encoding implementations and various feature sets. Some CDNs provide encoders. Most are inferior, as their main objective is to just make “noise” and sell bandwidth. Many broadcasters, netcasters, IT professionals, and even software developers are not aware of all the necessary details to produce quality audio on computer platforms, even though it may be their primary business. Now is not the time for amateur poorly implemented encoders. Broadcast quality standards should now be applied to streaming audio to achieve professional results. StreamS Encoders take all the guess work out of this for you. All of the details are taken care of.
Unlike open-source implementations that require codec licensing for commercial use, this software is ready to go without any additional licensing, and is DMCA Compliant.
Uses Genuine Fraunhofer AAC/HE-AAC (aacPlus), the latest MPEG audio standard codec, commercial floating-point implementation for the ultimate wide band audio quality. No transcoding from other coded formats are used, which reduces audio quality. This replaces outdated primitive MP3. No MP3 streaming royalties, less expensive to stream, less expensive to listen, more efficient, more reliable, and sounds better than MP3. Due to higher coding efficiencies than MP3, your audience will thank you for substantially less data usage. This is the same audio codec technology used in the number one on-line music provider, Apple iTunes Music Store. HE-AAC allows your audience to listen up to 4 times longer than MP3 for the same cost with higher reliability, especially on crowded mobile networks.
