Recording and Uploading Audio with Silverlight 4

Question

I've been reading about Silverlight 4's support for web cam and microphone. I'd like to be able to record audio from the browser and upload it to an ASP.NET MVC site. I've seen some mixed information about whether uploads are supported in Silverlight 4. I'm also looking to encode the audio to MP3 before upload and have seen some references to Speex.

Does anyone have any experience with this scenario that they can share as to whether this will be possible with Silverlight 4?

Your expertise is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I'm sure that you can record the audio and upload it to the website. but I don't think there is any Silverlight library that you can use to convert your audio file to mp3. You can always convert it at server-side after uploading as well..

If your SL is trusted OOB application then you can try this http://alvasnet.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-save-audio-to-mp3-on-silverlight.html
