Live windows media streaming differs from on-demand streaming in that a single live audio or video stream is sent from your location to N.O.R.A.D. Networks from where your media is then distributed. Contrary to on-demand streaming there are no pre-recorded media files. For example, radio stations use live streaming to broadcast a digital version of their traditional audio programming. A record label, on the other hand, would be more likely to benefit from on-demand streaming that their web site visitors could select from. Live streams can also be archived on the server for later on-demand streaming, if you choose to do so. More efficient use of the network bandwidth. Better audio and video quality to the user.
