audio.js is a drop-in JavaScript library that makes the HTML5 <audio> tag work across all browsers, using native audio where available and an invisible Flash player as a fallback. It also provides a consistent, CSS-styleable player UI across browsers.

Use cases

• play mp3 audio in the browser with a consistent player UI
• make the html5 audio tag work in legacy browsers like IE6-8
• add a styled audio player to a webpage with minimal setup
• build a custom playlist player on top of the audio tag
• embed audio on a site without writing cross-browser audio code

When to choose

• you must support very old browsers (IE6-8, old Firefox/Opera) that need a Flash fallback for mp3 playback
• you want a quick drop-in audio player with a styleable default UI

When to avoid

• you only need to support modern browsers, which all support native HTML5 audio
• you need ogg or other non-mp3 format support
• you want a maintained library - the last release was in 2018 and Flash is deprecated
