Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I am just learning the basics of FMS2 and have some simple questions(I hope).
I currently have a php/mysql application that creates mixes of mp3s.The songs
are played using progressive downloads and this is causing some concerns among
the license holders.I understand that by using FMS2 I can stream the mp3s
instead.
My question is about keeping current functionality after migrating to FMS2.
My mp3 player uses xml playlists. To create a playlist, a user searches the DB
and adds songs to his account. I then use php to write the added song data to
an xml playlist. The playlist is stored in the users folder, with a copy of the
mp3 player. The mp3s are all pulled from a specific location on the server.

From what I have learned about FMS2 so far(which is very little), I am not
sure if streams can be dynamically created in the same fashion. I have seen
plenty of info about FMS2 streaming mp3s from a specific playlist with the mp3
all coming from the application folder, but not any info about what I am trying
to attempt.

I would not be doing the coding myself, I can handle php/mysql but I know very
little about action script and have little time to learn. But I want to know if
I am barking up the wrong tree. Are dynamic streams possible? I dont want to
look like an idiot when I try to hire someone to code an impossible solution.

Thanks,

Matt
