`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Streaming media, such as audio or video files, is sent via the
`Internet. The media are immediately played on a user's
`computer. Audio/video data is transmitted from the server
`under control of a transport mechanism. A server buffer is
`prefilled with a predetermined amount of the audio/video
`data. When the transport mechanism causes data to be sent
`to the user's computer, it is sent more rapidly than it is
`played out by the user system. The audio/video data in the
`user buffer accumulates; and interruptions in playback as
`well as temporary modem delays are avoided.
