Question

I am working on a project, and my current task is add a feature to listen audio file directly in the web page. What options do I have? All files are mp3, and the page contains about 15 audio files

Unfortunately, the flash player looks like only one possible solution and I just hope if somebody will give me a clue how to make the feature done without it.

Update: Thanks for the direction with audio tag!

Answer 1

The <audio> tag! Note that different browsers support different compression solutions. Currently OGG Vorbis seems to be the most appropriate format to convert the audio into.

Edit: I seems that some browsers support OGG and some browsers support MP3. If you can, have both versions available and upload both. Then, in the markup have a declaration that looks like this:

<audio controls autobuffer>
    <source src="audio.mp3" />
    <source src="audio.ogg" />
</audio>
