Assuming you don't want *live* streaming, then surely all you would need to do is to provide a way for accessing a URL to produce mp4 data... i.e., put your mp4 file on a web server and access it normally. As for quality, .mp4 usually refers to QuickTime multimedia capsules which can theoretically hold a whole bunch of actual data formats. This page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats ...suggests that mp4 files can contain MP3, AAC or ALAC audio, but elsewhere it says they can contain Vorbis and MPEG-1 layer I and II as well. *shrug* By repackaging your MP3 file into a .mp4 capsule you *should* get exactly the same quality that the original MP3 was (since it's the same data, just presented differently). Whether you *actually* do or not is another matter... -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
