Streaming & Playback – How audio playback works

Updated over a month ago

Audio.com is built for fast, smooth listening — whether you’re streaming a single track or an entire collection. Our modern web-based player ensures high-quality playback and an easy experience for your listeners.


Playback features

  • Instant streaming: Audio starts playing immediately in the browser, no download required.

  • Auto-play support: Tracks within Collections will play one after another automatically.

  • Device-friendly: Works on desktop and mobile with no app required.

  • No ads: Both free and paid users can stream without interruptions.


Do listeners need an account?

No — as long as your audio is set to Public or Unlisted, anyone with the link can stream it. They do not need to sign up or log in.


Player options

  • All tracks use the built-in Audio.com web player

  • You can embed the player on other websites using the Share → Embed option

  • The player supports seek, volume, and playback speed (coming soon)


Streaming quality

Audio is streamed in high-quality format by default. No manual quality settings are required — playback automatically adjusts for stable delivery based on your listener’s connection.
