Or if you don’t want to click the link, here is the code that matters:

<audio type="audio/mpeg; codecs='mp3'" controls src="sample.mp3">Your browser does not support the HTML5 &lt;audio&gt; element.</audio>

This isn’t showing up in Firefox 15.0.1 and 16.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 which depresses me because this is crazy simple HTML5 code. It pops up for a fleeting moment on load but then disappears. It doesn’t even show the fallback text.

Thoughts? Is it working for Windows users?

edit: http://html5doctor.com/html5-audio-the-state-of-play/ is where I got my browser support list, which indicates FF has supported the audio element (MP3 codec) since version 3.6.

    You have to use this tag differently as in firefox you can’t play MP3 files with such a code.
    Here is the link for your help. http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/758978
