For those of you that follow these things, we've applied the HTML 5 audio player to all existing MP3 files that reside on the forum.
Example of the player below.
What's the benefit you ask? One reason is you can play MP3s shared with HTML 5 on mobile devices. The old MP3 player, not. Just tested on iPhone 6. Looks a little skewed and funky in the default browser viewing the web verison of the forum but works. Looks good in the mobile version. And away we go.
I know we have some hotshot developers among the mandolin players here. I've not seen that it's possible to display metadata, particularly Artist and Song Title as the old Flash player would, but if that's possible I'd be happy to hear. Otherwise it's not particularly a problem as we're typically displaying that somewhere with the post as we did earlier today.
