Wowza Streaming Engine is the answer
What do you like best about the product?
There are very few audio-streaming options in the Mac world, and Wowza works excellent for us, and it scales well with lots of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Custom solutions are relagated to coders, meaning basic end-users have to spend more money to get solutions, such as simple https links on all browsers for audio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an audio streaming platform that scales well with lots of users that is reliable and fast. For the Mac platform, there aren't a lot of options out there and Wowza works for us.

Bad experience from a billing standpoint
What do you like best about the product?
Nothing. There are better options out there. Vimeo, etc..

None.
Versatile Codec Support for Diverse Content

Wowza's support for a wide range of codecs and formats is a huge plus. It takes the headache out of transcoding and ensures that my content is accessible to a diverse audience without compatibility issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've encountered occasional compatibility issues with certain devices and browsers when using Wowza. Ensuring seamless playback across all platforms and devices can sometimes require extra troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wowza's robust codec and format support solve the headache of compatibility issues that I've faced in the past. However, it's true that occasionally, I encounter challenges with certain devices and browsers. Despite this, the troubleshooting efforts required are outweighed by the seamless playback experience it offers once everything is set up correctly. It's a small trade-off for the broader benefits.
