Is there a browser embedded player that can play 3gp, amr, mid, mp3 & wav

Question

Hi,

I want to play in my web site 3gp, amr, mid, mp3 & wav files My web site should support Internet explorer 6 & 7, It don't have to support mobile devices at all - only standard desktop IE 6&7.

Is anyone knows a player that I can embed in my web site?

Answer 1

The quicktime player will play all of those formats, the only downside is that your users will have to install the quicktime plugin if they don't already have it.

Unfortunately Flash does not support all of these formats so you won't be able to use a flash player, which is already installed more often than not.

Here's a tutorial on including quicktime in your web pages:

Answer 2

Since you ask for IE only, I assume your app will be bound to windows machines, right? If so, you should use Windows Media Player, because it ships with windows and every windows users has it installed (is this still true for vista and 7?).

But you don't have to specify a player at all. To embed the system-default player/plugin for the provided file, you could use the embed tag:

<embed src="yippee.wav" width="140" height="60">

The embed still is no standard w3c tag, but works since IE 3. With the new standard HTML 5, embed should become a standard tag and "audio" and "video" are also introduced.
