Audio player in posts

[SafeInSanity]

How about a plugin that would add a new button (like the photo and video buttons) to the post editor that would allow you to paste the url of any mp3 file hosted somewhere on the web and automatically embed a simple html 5 audio player in to the post when saved so that members could play and listen to the mp3 file?

There's an existing plugin for this that can only be found on an old roleplay resource board (Wicked Wonderland), but it's not very stable. I found that it doesn't use audio/video events quite right, so sometimes the script finishes before the .mp3 loads.

I've considered remaking it as a learning experience. Are you suggesting this just because you think it would be neat, or because you'd have use for it?

I want to use it for audio blogging. I never cared too much for video. It seems that social networking went from text, straight to video and skipped the audio format all together. Which I never understood!

If you can get it working that would be awesome! .. keep me posted ok? 😉

You might find that useful.

I may still make something similar to learn from, but that way you won't have to wait.
