I want to provide a ?voice recorder? and ?voice player? feature on my
site.  The ?voice recorder? will provide the functionality of: record,
pause, preview, and upload (to our server).  The ?voice player? will
provide the functionality of: play, pause, stop, download (to user?s
computer) and a scrollbar for fast forward/rewind.  After initial
research, it appears that java applet will be required and a possible
file format would be OGG.  I was hoping to use built in browser
support (so users don?t have to download any plug-ins), but this is
not a requirement.  With the possibility of many ?voice players? on a
single page, I wouldn?t want the user to have to wait for all sound
files to download before they can choose which one to play, so a
streaming method is likely required.

I am hoping to receive help on resources to complete this project such
as: advice, sample codes, links, books that deal with this topic, or
any help.

The website uses PHP5, MySQL, and some CSS.  I have complete access to
the servers.  I am a programmer, but I have not coded java before.

I am also concerned with licensing of any plug-ins or file formats
since the site created is a business site.

If I install Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Pro in one workstation, it cost
800. I use it to development my program. Will it cost more for license
if I put the finished program on my servers?

Sincerely

Roye

Hello,
     I have been using Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Pro for about a year
and I am a convert.  I've never tried it, but Flash has incredible
audio integration.  It would be a simple matter to tie over to one of
the aforementioned recording programs, put it in either the user's
cache or, if you have server space, save and later delete the file. 
With Flash, you have more control than you'd ever need over the file,
once recorded, plus, Flash can control the user's mic (unless the user
is paranoid and has blocked this).  Downside, Flash Pro is $800 unless
you're nonprofit.
