Record Audio and Upload as Wav or MP3 to server

Question

Hi Guys

Im not sure if Im asking the right place, but basically Im looking for advice on the best way to:

Record Audio through a microphone on a website and Upload the audio as a Wav or MP3 file to the server

Has anyone got extensive experience with flash, would this be difficult to do, is there anything on the market that currently does this?

I was thinking about implimenting this as a Java applet but I find java applets abit annoying to use, abit 1998! Are there any tools that do this already or anyone got any guides or whatever

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks Phil

Hey Phil,

It might be worth having a look at Processing, if you are not familiar with it you can write java applet, without alot of the hassle. There is also great documentation, and active forums.

Otherwise you could use listenup [ Price: $200 ]

Hope this helps,

Use Adobe Flash Media Server (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/) or Java servers with support of incoming sound streams.

With FMS it is realy simple. You create in flash swf-app taht reads microphone and send sound stream to server. FMS will write is as mp3 automaticly. You should find few samples answering yours problem in adobe documentation.

you can also record with MP3 Recorder Studio, save file to mp3 and then upload to the server as an option though
