How to make a simple HTML playlist using Jquery

I need some help making a very simple Jquery playlist using audio html tag. So far I got his:

<audio id="myAudio" preload="auto">
  Your user agent does not support the HTML5 Audio element.
</audio>

and the jquery part:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>

$(document).ready(function() {
  bgAudio = document.getElementById("myAudio");
  bgAudio.volume = 0.3;

  bgAudio.controls = true;
  bgAudio.loop = true;
  bgAudio.autoplay = true;

  bgAudio.src = "bg1.mp3";
  bgAudio.src = "bg2.mp3";
  bgAudio.play();

});
</script>

How can I make those 2 mp3's play one after another? Thanks for the help.

  • There was no element to use the animate to so I made a div#bg and wrapped it around the audio element. Remember, if you want to make an element fade in with opacity, make sure the element starts off with opacity:0

  • The expression should be: $('div#bg').animate({opacity: 1}, 1000);

  • I took a look at your question... it doesn't have that animate() anymore?

  • The playlist is in an array.

  • The function player() is called upon document ready (So you don't need autoplay that mobile devices ignore anyways)

  • The player will play each audio clip in succession and upon completing the playlist it starts over again (loop only works on one file, not on a playlist. So you'd never progress to the next file if loop=true)

I did improve the answer a bit, so the initial song will start random and just be followed chronologically by the rest.

<script>

    var playlist = [
        "music/bg1.mp3",
        "music/bg2.mp3",
        "music/bg3.mp3",
        "music/bg4.mp3"
    ];

    var n = playlist.length-1;
    var r = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * n);

    $(document).ready(function() {
        var xA = document.getElementById("myAudio");
        xA.volume = 0.3;
        xA.controls = true;

        function player(x) {
            var i = 0;

            xA.src = playlist[r];
            xA.load();
            xA.play();
            xA.onended = function() {
                i++;
                if (i > n) {
                    i = 0;
                }

                xA.src = playlist[i];
                xA.load();
                xA.play();
            }
        }
        player(0);
    });
    </script>

I was thinking of making all songs repeat in a shuffle way, but I believe I would need to do an array of numbers to count them down or something. Still. it's just optional!

One way would be to use the audio API to bind an onended event on to bgAudio and switch the source there.

JS:

$(document).ready(function() {

  var bgAudio = document.getElementById("myAudio");
  var src1 = "bg1.mp3";
  var src2 = "bg2.mp3";

  bgAudio.volume = 0.3;

  bgAudio.controls = true;
  bgAudio.loop = false;
  bgAudio.autoplay = true;
  bgAudio.src = src1;

  bgAudio.onended = function(){
    bgAudio.stop();
    bgAudio.src = src2;
    bgAudio.play();
  }

  bgAudio.play();

});

Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/wpwddq30/

NOTE: This is untested, just to give an idea of the events
