Azure Media Services for transcoding and delivering audio

I have a common use case scenario where I want to do the following

Upload an audio file. (wav/mp3)
Transcodes to 128k or 192k mp3.
Stores the audio asset.
Allows the audio asset to be streamed.
Supports streaming actions such as play pause and seek.

The documentation for azure media services seems like it might be able to support this but I am not too sure, seems like they focus on video content. Anyone have experience with this?

Solution

You can manage audio and encode audio only assets with azure media services.

WAV is supported input format/conatiner as a input asset. To see full list of supported formats check following link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/media-services-media-encoder-standard-formats/

Check https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/media-services/media-services-custom-mes-presets-with-dotnet.md#audio_only to see audio only preset options which you will use to encode an audio only preset.
