title: Live stream a single / static audio file using Azure Media Services
body: <p>I'm struggling trying to figure out how to implement live streaming of an audio file through Azure Media Services. What I'm trying to do is have a single/static audio file that live streams and repeats when it reaches the end of the file.</p>
  
  <p>The thought is to have a radio station type experience that when the user starts listening to the audio it begins playing at where the file is currently at in the live stream.</p>
  
  <p>I have very limited knowledge with codecs, streaming types, and encoding. That said, I was able to upload my mp3 file to Azure Media Services, encode it using "AAC Good Quality Audio" and am able to play the audio clip. However, I want to enable streaming to ensure the experience I described above.</p>
  
  <p>The last piece of this will be enabled through a responsive website so I would like to enable the stream using HTML 5 so it's playable on all devices that support it (desktop, mobile, tablet, etc). Is there a HTML5/JavaScript player that is able to do this? Flash/Silverlight is not an option since this won't render on mobile nor tablets.</p>
  
  <p>If I can provide any further information please let me know. Most/all of the articles I see about live streaming is about video and I'm struggling to find how to do this with audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
