Hello,

I’m currently working on my new website, its almost there, but I have problems with the sound size. Im currently just loading it strieght in, and its a fairly long song (about 6 mins or somthing). Even at 32kbps its about 1.3mb. I want the quality to be high (not really less than 56kbps) so I will need the sound to load itself and start playing when its about half way through loading (or 1/3 or somthing). How do I get the sound to buffer? Is there a tut? I searched this board but didnt really find anything helpful.

I want to do what the creator of [deftCreative](http://www.deftcreative.co.uk) has done with his media player.

Thanks alot!
