Learn more about the various hardware and software options for our streaming service.
Streaming Service
In streaming mode, the music plays via a live real-time stream from the webserver. This option is great for personal and non-commercial uses, however, can certainly be used for commercial deployment as well. Streaming mode is the fastest way to use the service, in that you can simply use the player that is built into the website. It uses the fewest resources on your local computer since it is not storing any additional software or music files on your computer.
In streaming mode, you play the music directly from the website by clicking on any of the existing stations here at RadioSparx. You can use your own computer system and don't need to purchase or lease any dedicated hardware. The music plays right on your computer in a standard web browser.
Or alternately if needed, you can use a dedicated hardware music player device. Supported devices include the R-Box Pearl (by RadioSparx) and the Lisa LCD/Lisa Compact devices (by Streamit).
