Audio Player Extra Features
Fully Customizable.
You can disable scrubbar, volume controls, fullscreen controls thumbnail and more. You can customize all colors via CSS. The player on the left uses the second skin of the player. The first skin being the sound wave skin at the top.
Retina Ready.
Each skin is fully responsive and retina-ready. Wow. The player itself has been tested on all major browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE7-10. And optimized for the iOS and Android mobile platforms.
Minimal Player.
Sometimes more is less, and this player has every scenario covered. This in the right is the representation of the third skin of the player, a minimal implementation which even has scrub controls ( if you click on the margins ).
Only One Format.
Todays html5 audio players require the world in different audio formats. But not this one. Only mp3 is required and ogg is optional.
Smart.
You can place as many players on a page as you wish. If another player is playing and you click on a different one, the other player will stop playing, just try in here.
Multiple Sources.
Self hosted audios are not your only option. You can also play streams from YouTube or SoundCloud, or even Shoutcast radio stations*
* ( for Shoutcast ) – You must first check if the stream is audio/mpeg. Let’s take for example http://streamplus40.leonex.de:41364/if you open this in a browser you will see that Content Type: audio/mpeg
Waveform Generator
With New Canvas Mode – After mp3 is loaded, the waveform will be generated automatically – this will happen only once and then will be saved into the database – so further playings of the mp3 will read from the saved generated waveform instantly
__
With Old ( Deprecated ) Image Mode:
- generate waveforms with an admin panel ( waveformgenerator.php ) – on which you can change color, multiplier, track locatinon etc / flash based
- generate waveforms for all the mp3s in a folder ( wavegeneratorfromdir.php ) / flash based
- generate waveform for song.mp3 to wavesbg.png and wavesprog.png – static ( waveform.html ) – you can edit that html for different colors, names / flash based
- waveformgenerator_html/ for using the html5 waveform generator / html5 based , I do not support this at the moment
Presentation for the first two method – https://youtu.be/WrTSB54oTkI
Notes
- tracks and images are not included in the download package.
- to use commenting system you will need php server
- youtube will not work as audio on iDevices but as a video due to the platform limitations
- waveform will be generated automatically, but it will need a php server for the saving feature
FAQ
In the smaller player (the circular player on the right hand side of your demo page) I would like to be able to make the whole player larger. Instead of 100px / 100px I would like 500px/ 500px. Where do I change this? I’ve edited the canvas but it has gone smaller!
Just edit the 100 width and 100 height in this piece of code and you should be alright ( line ~377 )
_conPlayPause.children('.playbtn').append('<canvas width="100" height="100" class="playbtn-canvas"/>'); skin_minimal_canvasplay = _conPlayPause.find('.playbtn-canvas').eq(0).get(0); _conPlayPause.children('.pausebtn').append('<canvas width="100" height="100" class="pausebtn-canvas"/>');
can this/does this bind to the <audio> tags?
There is no way to bind to the audio tag
It will create an audio tag by it’s own
but I think the format is fairly easy
<div id="apsimple" class="audioplayer-tobe" style="width:100%; margin-top:0;" data-videotitle="Audio Video" data-type="normal" data-source="./sounds/adg3.mp3"> <div class="meta-artist"><span class="the-artist">Tim McMorris</span> - It's a beautiful day</div> </div> <script> jQuery(document).ready(function ($) { dzsap_init("#apsimple", { autoplay: "off" }); }); </script>
how to place play and artist on top of wave ( in skin-wave )
Just add the class alternate-skin to the audioplayer element
where are comments saved ?
In db/ folder – make sure permissions are set to 755
Comments do not save / waveforms do not save
To access the database you will need to have a php server. If you already have one, then all that zoomsounds needs is the location of publisher.php . That file handles retrieving and publishing comments / waveforms . If publisher.php is in the same folder as the html just input
,settings_php_handler:'publisher.php'
in the player settings. Otherwise, point to the correct location.
For waveform generation also make sure
,"pcm_data_try_to_generate":"on"
is in the player settings.
For waveform generation also make sure
,"skinwave_comments_enable":"on","skinwave_comments_retrievefromajax": "on"
is in the player settings.
Where i can set “play next song automatically” in playlist
make sure autoplayNext is set to “on” ( autoplayNext: “on” ) in audiogallery settings
is there a way to accept MPEG file format audio-only?
you can have only .mp3 as the stream like the example above and it will use the Flash Backup for unsupported browser
