After a long time of finding a Audio live streaming platform, I finally found one that is user-friendly and mobile-friendly. The platform is called Mixlr and it is a very simple yet powerful audio streaming platform. It have a chat room where the people that are listening to it, can comment and discuss among themselves. Also, to make it easier, it can be embed in Social Medias like Facebook and Twitter to let the audio stream from there. This is a lot easier for users to have access to the audio streaming.
At first, the plan was to use SoundCloud for the task. However, I could not understand or it may not have the function of live streaming. After like a 1 week playing around with SoundCloud, I gave up and went on to find other platforms. Youtube live streaming seems viable so I gave it a try. However, due to some problem with the account verification, I could not do it. Soon after, I found this platform from my friend which is called Sub Sonic. It is not really user-friendly and i was confused with how it works.
Then, I chanced upon Mixlr and finally works. I made an account and started testing it on computer and my own phone. Another good point to it is that, the user do not have to make an account on the phone app to listen to live stream. However, they are unable to chat in the chatroom.
Below is the snapshot of the Mixlr application. It have a clean and simple user-interface to it. And it support embedding really easily and if people wish to find the live stream via a link, all the functions are there on the top of the application.
