Responsive Audio Player

This audio player features playlist support via JSON data and step navigation. The version you're seeing now is a fresh new take on this project... by modernizing the style and offloading all browser detection crap to a wonderful audio player plugin called Plyr (https://github.com/sampotts/plyr).

@kressly, to enable autoplay, you can update the Plyr initialization by adding the corresponding setting like so:

// initialize plyr
plyr.setup($('#audio1'), {
    autoplay: true
});

... or you can just add playTrack(index); right under loadTrack(index); in the JS at the bottom.

As for looping, Plyr does have a setting for this (just like autoplay), but I tried that and it didn't work for some reason. The only way I could get looping to work was to add the loop attribute on the <audio> element in the HTML, like this:

<audio preload loop id="audio1" controls="controls">Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio!</audio>

However, only doing this will loop through the first track indefinitely (which you don't want), so instead you would need to create a new control that toggles the loop attribute. Something like this should do the trick:

$('.loop').on('click', function () {
    var player = $('#audio1')[0];
    if (player.loop === false) {
        player.loop = true;
    } else {
        player.loop = false;
    }
});

You won't be able to get a new icon to show up inside the audio player itself, but you could create your own link or button where ever you want and give it the class of loop so the function above is bound to that element, which will toggle looping.

Hope this helps!

@kressly, I just updated the version of Plyr. It appears looping is still being worked on for a future release, but the new syntax for initialization (with autoplay) is as follows:

// initialize plyr
var player = new Plyr('#audio1', {
    controls: [
        'restart',
        'play',
        'progress',
        'current-time',
        'duration',
        'mute',
        'volume'
    ],
    autoplay: true
});
