Browser Audio

A simple cross-browser audio player. Uses Web Audio when possible (except in Firefox where HTML5 <audio> works better) and falls back to HTML5 <audio>. Supports IE10+ and most mobile browsers.

The file formats supported depend on the underlying Browser implementation, but .mp3 should work in most situations.

Note this library is only intended for playing multiple small sound effects, there's no streaming support for large files.

Usage

npm install browser-audio

var audio = require('browser-audio')
var file = audio.create('url-to-file.mp3')
 
file.play() // plays when loaded
// or...
// files are instances of EventEmitter
file.once('load', file.play.bind(file))
 
// other methods/properties:
file.stop()
file.state // 'loading' or 'loaded'
file.duration
file.currentTime
 
// multiple file load helper
var file1 = audio.create('...')
var file2 = audio.create('...')
audio.whenLoaded([file1, file2], function () {
  // all files loaded
})
