Sounds and Music
Sounds and Music are two different things in OpenSimulator.
Sounds are short audio clips uploaded to your inventory and played in world when put in a scripted object. They play in the viewer volume settings as 'Sounds'. Sounds may be precisely synchronized with in-world events and tightly match visual effects.
Music are either externally hosted audio files, or real-time audio streams. They play in the viewer volume settings as 'Music' when the url of the file or stream is entered in About Land > Sound > Music URL. When streamed, they are called 'radios', or DJ's live events.
Streaming incurs a latency of about 30 seconds and is loosely synchronized to in-world events. Audio files have a much lower latency. Use streaming when you want a radio-like music feed. Use files for a jukebox or music on demand.
Note : Sounds and Music should not be confused with Media, which are web pages displayed on prims that may also contain sounds and music.
