Re:JavaScript mp3 decoder allows Firefox to play mp3 without... by jaquis on Saturday June 18, 2011 @02:44AM (#2668107)
I think this is the beginning of something beautiful.

On Chrome 13 if you enter a new ID track and hit enter it will keep playing the old song even if you start playing the new one or it will have that crkkkk repeating sound. :) Firefox 4 seems to have no problem but you have to sometimes hit refresh and then play to get the new track playing.

One cool feature would be to make a random ID track generator so you won't have to search/enter the codes for yourself.

Hope this feedback helps somehow.

Did I say how cool all this is?

Thanks for the feedback, jaquis!

Re: Chrome 13, I haven't had a chance to test this myself, but I suspect that dev.kill() doesn't work as expected then :/ if it's a Chrome bug that would really suck cause it wouldn't be the first one.. see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82795 (seriously Google Chrome team, get your stuff straight!)

Re cool feature: actually, we had in mind using the Official.fm Simple API (see http://official.fm/developers/simple/ for more infos) to add a Search feature. As an official.fm dev, though I'm warning you: our search system is undergoing serious refactoring and the current system has lots of... room for improvement, put politely.

Thanks again for your time!

While I'm at it, I forgot to say this, but: if you have MP3s that don't play, please upload them on Mediafire and submit a Github bug report: https://github.com/nddrylliog/jsmad/issues - you'd be surprised how quick we can figure out, after collectively spending 300+ hours debugging the code :)
