How to stream an MP3 from an ASP.NET MVC Controller Action

Question

I have an mp3 file in my site. I want to output it as a view. In my controller I have:

public ActionResult Stream()
{
        string file = \'test.mp3\';
            


        

Answer 1

If your MP3 file is in a location accessible to users (i.e. on a website folder somewhere) you could simply redirect to the mp3 file. Use the Redirect() method on the controller to accomplish this:

public ActionResult Stream()
{
    return Redirect("test.mp3");
}
