Introducing HLS at Radio Mast
We're also pleased to announce HLS support for MP3 and AAC streams is now available as a free upgrade for all users on the Radio Mast Streaming Network. HLS provides a better listening experience for mobile listeners by allowing listeners to seamlessly switch between Wifi and cellular networks interrupting playback, as well as improving battery life.
Getting an HLS audio stream is now easier than ever before - simply create a stream on Radio Mast and connect your encoder. Your MP3 or AAC stream will be available not only as a conventional HTTP(S) stream, but now also as an HLS stream. No reconfiguration or expensive extra software is required, and this feature is available at no additional cost to Radio Mast users.
