Play MP3s with Javascript

Posted by phorner On July 14, 2009

PIMP3Flash has always been the software of choice for playing MP3s in a browser. This poses a problem, however, for those without the Flash Player plugin. Now there is a solution.

PIMP3 is a Javascript MP3 player that uses Scriptaculous and Prototype. All you have to do is provide an MP3 track list in JSON format (using AJAX and a server side script).

The look and feel of the PIMP3 is entirely skinnable by editing the CSS file. Features include configurable runtime options such as autostart and random playback order of tracks.

Will be interesting to see if this can be converted to use jQuery.

  42. What a well written post. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an unbelievable post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.

  44. Hi – very good web site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing.

I have always enjoyed playing with information processing systems and am attempting to learn code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).
