send audio file over http

Question

Soo i need to send a audio file (WAV/MP3) file over the internet to a client browser, that then is used inside a client script to be played back/processed. the server will be running a c# application. I initially approached it by using sending the file as a download to the clients hard-drive... but i had problems with accessing the file and i needed to clear the file when the client leaves the web page. I'm looking for the good advice of the community for a library or any specific methodology or course of action to tackle this problem cheers....

Download the file from your JavaScript as a JSON or XML blob with an Ajax request.

Encode the audio file into a base 64 string (binary to text). Once you recieve it at the server you can decode it back to it's original format. Hope this helps!
