# Overview of Streaming Media

The Streaming Media program allows you to stream live broadcasts or on-demand media content from the Web. You do not have to wait until the entire media content is completely downloaded before watching the video or hearing the sound. The media is sent in a continuous stream to your device and is played as it arrives, along with the audio. The Streaming Media program allows you to play 3GP and MPEG-4 files. It also supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files. An SDP file is a text file that contains the format, broadcast time, media content, and other information about a live broadcast, or it may contain a playlist and links to prerecorded media files if you are viewing on-demand streaming media.
