Buffering external MP3 Sound before playback

Does anyone know of a way to buffer a fixed amount of seconds to an external MP3, before playback?

My MP3 is background music.:wink:

I know that with the Sound Class you are limited to Event and Stream types. Loading in n MP3 through Sound.loadSound method you can set the “isStreaming” parameter.

Set to true, the stream comes in at anypoint and stutters throughout the songs download. Which is plain awful. :td:

Is there a way to buffer an MP3 like you would for an FLV. Say create a **NetConnection **and stream through that way, using the buffering capabilities of NetStream.

My Question then is how does someone convert an MP3 to a non-video-like FLV?

Is this at all possible? Anybody done this before? :smiley:
