This Audio Player is just a demo. It works more or less in Firefox4, Chrome, Safari, Opera, iOS, but there are some differences in the visuals. Also other known issues are:

  • There is no preload indicator yet.
  • Chrome on Windows has a known box-shadow bug where the circles don’t get cut off, no panic, should already be fixed in the nightly.
  • Opera starts to rotate funky after the first round, no idea why.
  • On iOS the many gradients and box-shadows make the transition slow. It might would need some simpler styling.
  • Plus there is no proper fallback for older browsers. A Modernizr and Flash combo should do it.

The player is now on github for forking, chewing and spitting out, if you’re interested.
