Best Way to Interface with Clients Abroad?

[Overdrive]

I am sending MP3 of the work and get on the phone with them. Plain simple.

Hi Jim

Have you seen Welcome - SoundCloud I'm finding it very useful and there's a good level of interactivity. Plus you can include a dropbox in your website.

It would be nice to be able to play a song and have both myself and the client hear it (in relatively real time, I'm aware there's always a bit of latency), while also being able to speak to each other.
Video would be a bonus!

I'm familiar with Skype, is there anything that can be integrate into a website? Having minimal setup on the client end is ideal, it'd be sweet if they could just plug and play.

Virtual Glass does everything you require.

Overdrive, Jam, and MiserableSod,

Thanks so much for your advice!
I will definitely be checking out Sound Cloud and Virtual Glass when it comes out as a VST.

Cheers!
Jim
