Audio looping seems like a basic feature that you’ve probably come to expect from your favorite media player. Web Audio API is an API designed to manipulate and play audio assets on a Web page or application. It is an amazing foundation for games, synthesizers, audio players, trackers and more. All within the comfort of your browser. Support is excellent with Chrome, Opera, Safari and Firefox* all on board.
It probably took more JavaScript than you thought to make simple loops but with just a bit more work you can really kick things up a notch. Visualizers, volume control, special effects and so much more.

Would you like a Responsive and Touch-Friendly Audio Player? Osvaldas Valutis has built a jQuery plugin that replaces <audio> element with a little of custom HTML code. By adding some CSS you get a whole new player which looks the way you want and has the same functionality as the default player. There is no direct way to style the element. But the HTML5 DOM has methods, properties, and events for the element and thus makes it quite easily manipulable.
It has been tested on the latest Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera both Mac and Windows versions. The player works well on Internet Explorer 9, 10 and gracefully degrades to mini mode on earlier versions. It also works on iOS 6, Windows Phone 7 and Android 4.2 default browsers. However, the earlier Android versions does not support “audio” nor “embed” elements, so the player won’t work there at all.
Requirements: jQuery Framework
