    Hi all,

    Developing a website (ASP.NET (c#)) that will allow users record audio.

    I was wondering if anyone has any experince here and could offer suggestions on best way to approach?

    Was thinking of offering users 2 options -

    1. (For user(s) with poor connection) - download simple client that records locally and then uploads

    2. Record to server

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Les

    Probably a separate Java applet or ActiveX control would be the best way to go

    Hmm... this is as much (if not perhaps more) a client-side issue rather than a server-side issue.

    Writing a standalone app has its problems - if it's a Windows box, you have to tap into DirectX or whatever; for a mac, it'd be Core Audio, and so on. Instead of this, I believe that the more recent builds of the Flash plugin are capable of accessing microphones (and webcams) - maybe that's a way to start?

    (Also, what do jamnow.com use?)

    HTH,
    Gadget.

    Having briefly looked into this before for someone, the two choices were an applet using JMF (Java Media Framework) or an ActiveX
    Seen as your using c# :) the only difference between an ActiveX and other "normal" code is that is signed really
