HTML 5 Music Player on ISO50
Posted by Jakub
It’s finally here, a music player from us that you can listen to on your mobile device.
The design has been updated as well with a larger play button, larger font, and links to iTunes & Amazon if available.
**Try it out and give us some feedback.
Special thanks to Karl Peterson for making this happen.
Update: You might need to have the latest Java update installed. Also you may need to clear your browser cache after the update.

June 5, 2012 at 12:56 pmGreat design decision with the large play button. In terms of feedback, I would house the player in the dark brown box to separate it from the text content below, at least a rule or something.

June 5, 2012 at 1:05 pmWorks great on Safari w/o Flash player installed. Now I don’t have to launch Chrome to listen to your posts. Thanks.

June 5, 2012 at 1:31 pmDoes that mean you’ll be able to listen to your playlist on the IPhone too, or just the upcoming posts?

June 5, 2012 at 1:49 pm@Jack – we’ll be switching the playlist player over to HTML5 soon. And keep an eye out for even more new audio features…

Enjoying that Clark track too.

June 5, 2012 at 4:44 pmI wish it worked on Firefox without flash being installed. It just comes up with an error, telling me I have to upgrade, even though I’m using the latest version (13.0)

June 5, 2012 at 6:41 pm@Michael – Firefox doesn’t support the mp3 format, so the html5 player is forced to fallback on flash. Unfortunately Firefox appears to have no plans to support mp3.

June 5, 2012 at 8:41 pm@OL’SKIPPER nice one!

June 5, 2012 at 8:43 pmI’ve been waiting for this so it’s great to see it, but some of the elements of the player are still misaligned. I’m using the latest version of Firefox on Windows if a dev needs to know.

June 5, 2012 at 9:05 pmWorked flawlessly on Opera on Android 4.0 — nice work! And of course, great tunes too! :-)

Nedbiner says:
June 6, 2012 at 8:47 amLove the player, but artist name should be first then song title like the old player with a – separating them.
Artist name – Song title
Easy-peasy…

June 6, 2012 at 9:29 amIt´s nice that you put the link to amazon or itunes.
KYLE says:
June 6, 2012 at 9:35 amrunning this on chrome at work, we’ve got really bad servers and anything flash takes a million years to load. this was the first time i’ve clicked on a song and it played right away. i was shocked and thought i did something wrong!
it looks pretty clean too, thanks for the update, will try on my android in a bit!
Leo Utskot says:
June 6, 2012 at 10:29 amThe is awesome, but as far as functionality and design is concerned. Would it be possible for you to release this as a free software project so that others can implement it too?

June 7, 2012 at 1:44 am@ NEDBINER = QFT!!

Artist name – Song title

Apart from positive feedback, there is always room for improvement. I suggest you downsize the font by one so it matches the text in de posts.
Keep up the good work!

June 7, 2012 at 1:47 pm@Nedbiner – Good call, it’s all fixed up.

June 8, 2012 at 12:13 pmThanks! I’ve wanted to listen to this blog on my iPad for the longest time. This is great!

June 8, 2012 at 11:25 pmI am interested in implementing a similar player on my website but I’m not the best coder… I looked at the Sidearm site but there was no contact page / info. I am a long time reader and fan so anything that Scott and the crew are willing to spend their hard earned $$$ on is a good endorsement in my book. If anyone could shoot me a link or an email at hello@rudyfrench.com I’d be willing to pay for this sort of media functionality on the site. Sorry if this is spam but I didn’t know where else to post :-)

On a more personal note, I’m here in NYC and will be seeing TYCHO at Webster Hall. I was considering buying a print from the shop – the one that advertises the show here:
http://www.merchline.com/iso50/categorydisplay.5581.c.htm
If I did buy it and brought it with me is there anyway I could get it signed at the show? How would one go about doing that? I only ask because that would be just amazing. It would sit in a place of prominence in my home!
