audio.js

audiojs is a drop-in javascript library that allows HTML5's tag to
be used anywhere. It uses native where available and falls back
to an invisible flash player to emulate it for other browsers. It also serves
a consistent html player UI to all browsers which can be styled used standard css.

It plays mp3s. No ogg. Because, lets be honest, in the real world, no one
really exports ogg files. Sadly, that means Opera and Firefox get flash audio.
Hopefully they can add mp3 support soon.

Usage

1. Put audio.js, player-graphics.gif & audiojs.swf in the same folder.

Build

On OSX, you should install closure compiler following the instructions in
Ben's gist.

Then you can run rake compile from root directory and it will package audio.js
into audio.min.js.

Compiling Flash from the command line

If you want to mess around with the flash-side of things, you will need to be
able to compile the .as file into a .swf.

Using the Flex SDK (which is free), flash movies can be compiled
directly from the command line. It makes life that little bit less painful.
