Streaming MP3s from Amazon S3

Question

Is there a way to stream MP3s stored on Amazon S3 via a Flash widget embedded in a website, or some other method?

Answer 1

To update the answer to this question, if you want to actually STREAM to clients, you can use Amazon Cloudfront on top of your S3 bucket (as mentioned by Rudolf). Create a "streaming distribution" in Cloudfront that points to your S3 bucket.

This will stream via RTMP (good for web and Android devices). You can use JW Player or a similar player to play the streamed files.

Cloudfront Streaming uses Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5.

There is also the ability to play secure content using signed urls.
