Audio Streaming Protocols

Audio streaming protocols are systems that allow audio content to be transmitted over the internet. They ensure that sound is delivered smoothly from a source, like a music service, to your device, whether it's a smartphone, computer, or smart speaker. Common protocols include MP3, AAC, and streaming formats like HLS or RTSP, which help in buffering and managing data flow. These protocols adapt to your internet speed, providing a seamless listening experience, whether you're streaming a live radio show or playing songs on demand. In essence, they make it possible for you to enjoy audio anytime, anywhere.
