NodeJS Mp3 Streaming ExpressJS

        readStream = fs.createReadStream(music);
    }
    readStream.pipe(res);

Mobile does not support 'Content-Range' header when user request play.

var express     = require('express');
var app         = express();
var fs          = require('fs');

app.listen(3000, function() {

app.get('/api/play/:key', function(req, res) {
    var key = req.params.key;

    var music = 'music/' + key + '.mp3';

    var stat = fs.statSync(music);
    range = req.headers.range;
    var readStream;

    if (range !== undefined) {
        var parts = range.replace(/bytes=/, "").split("-");

        var partial_start = parts[0];
        var partial_end = parts[1];

        var start = parseInt(partial_start, 10);
        var end = partial_end ? parseInt(partial_end, 10) : stat.size - 1;
        var content_length = (end - start) + 1;

        res.status(206).header({
            'Content-Type': 'audio/mpeg',
            'Content-Length': content_length,
            'Content-Range': "bytes " + start + "-" + end + "/" + stat.size
        });

        readStream = fs.createReadStream(music, {start: start, end: end});
    } else {
        res.header({
            'Content-Type': 'audio/mpeg',

        });
        readStream = fs.createReadStream(music);
    }
    readStream.pipe(res);
});

createReadStream contained portential server crush.
NGINX PROXY showed
upstream prematurely closed connection while reading upstream
CHROME showed
ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ERROR

readStream = fs.createReadStream(music, {start: start, end: end});
start and end parameter just only accept numeric.

var express     = require('express');
var app         = express();

        var partial_start = parts[0];

        if ((isNaN(partial_start) && partial_start.length > 1) || (isNaN(partial_end) && partial_end.length > 1)) {
            return res.sendStatus(500); //ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING
        }

        var start = parseInt(partial_start, 10);
        var end = partial_end ? parseInt(partial_end, 10) : stat.size - 1;
        var content_length = (end - start) + 1;

        res.status(206).header({
            'Content-Type': 'audio/mpeg',
            'Content-Length': content_length,
            'Content-Range': "bytes " + start + "-" + end + "/" + stat.size
        });

        readStream = fs.createReadStream(music, {start: start, end: end});
    } else {
        res.header({

@alainib Please make sure declare at the top of your code.

const fs = require('fs')

This is amazing, thanks for this!

Great work!

Great, I have the question about statSync. Can I use only url link instead of local File mp3?
