Player

23 February 2006

At work we’ve just launched a new mini-site for The National. Of interest to the web geek crowd is the javascript audio player I’ve developed – no Flash was used in the making of the audio player, it’s all pure javascript. It does some reasonably clever things including moving from one track to the next, looping round to the beginning of the track list and also now playing artwork (which isn’t used on The National site, but can be seen on the Too Pure listen page ).

Also of note on the Too Pure listen page is the new Too Pure widget, which is a widget-ised version of the same code. It also does some quite clever things using AJAX, allowing us to keep the track listing on the server and update the widget with new songs without needing the user to download the widget again.

Nifty…
