The Executive Summary:

Legacy streaming audio protocols are costing you audience share! That’s the simple truth that CDNs don’t tell you.
Prehistoric, simplistic streaming protocols and codecs don’t provide the quality, reliability, and rich, on-time metadata that
contemporary audiences expect for their expensive modern media devices.
Simplicity limits and only gets so far. Legacy protocols are synonymous with unreliable streaming.
Fact is, terrestrial radio is winding down. It is now more important than ever to use commercial enterprise streaming
solutions to reach your new streaming audiences. Amateur protocols and repurposed office computers don’t get you there.
Video streaming has already made the move and is successfully going to the bank.
Audio streaming needs to make the same move or end up with nothing. Adapt or die.
You cannot afford NOT to make the move to StreamS HLSdirect™.

Legacy streaming protocols such as SHOUTcast/Icecast ICY and FLV lack the reliability, features, and performance that modern devices support.
