You can't get the same level of service in a webapp. From technical papers on Spotify, one can see that they get an average of about 250ms to start playing a song, but still their own servers only need to stream about 20% or so IIRC of the total music played.

- mzl 15y agoThe client does P2P and local caching for offloading the servers. Apart from the technical issues in doing it browser side (for example, opening TCP connections), I seriously doubt that it could be done with the same level of efficiency.
