Streaming Audio Files

Great question, I would use the embedded audio field module http://drupal.org/project/emfield with a 3rd party hosting site that will stream the audio for you. There are free and paid services for audio/podcast hosting. For instance http://podbean.com/ comes to mind. We do offer commercial services if you need help, thx -J

There are modules such as http://drupal.org/project/cdn or http://drupal.org/project/AmazonS3 which should help transfer the streaming of any media from your local server to the content delivery edge location.

If you were thinking of using podbean as mentioned in #1, you may be interested in a module I have recently created for D6 offering Podbean support for the embedded media module. I am looking for testers to get it to be a full module. It provides podbean support for the above mentioned module and as far as I know it should work with feeds as well.

http://drupal.org/project/media_podbean

There is a bit of work to get it installed while its still a sandbox project, but it should be as simple as any othert module once it gets promoted to full project status.

Extra testers trying it out and reporting any issues could help make it a better module.

[edit: to update the new address of the module, as it is now a full project]

Also in the d7 port I will be using the media module which gives you different pluggable options including cloud storage I believe.

Closing, D7 port will use media module which is much more flexible.
