[Plugin: Audio Player] feature request

  • This is an EXCELLENT plug-in. I’ve never had any problems with it.

    But I’m wondering if you could add a feature that would make it EVEN MORE useful to me.

    Is it possible to define start and end points for audio files! Sometimes, you only want to play segments of a larger audio file. And in cases where the content resides elsewhere (not on your site), editing the audio download file to include a shorter segment is not an option.

  • It would be possible to add this feature but I don’t believe it is useful enough to implement it. The problem with your idea is that visitors would still need to download the whole file to listen to the segment. Say you had a 10 minute piece of audio but were only interested in the 6th minute. All visitors would still have to download the first 5 minutes before they can start listening. This is not good for the visitor (they have to wait before listening) and not good for you (waste of bandwidth).

    I would also really like this option, infact I have an idea to base a whole website around such a feature.

    You’re right though it would be useless if all of the file prior to the required section needed downloading first. I understand if it’s impossible to load just a section of an mp3. However it is possible to skip to any part of a youtube video and load from that point, surely this is a similar sort of thing?

    Perhaps it took youtube’s army of coders months to make that work. Still it would be a great feature!

    Cheers man.

    im waiting for this function too.

    cheers man
