This is a sample implementation of an audio player using straight up HTML and JavaScript. It depends on modern audio capabilities of browsers (all major browsers should support it) and uses the buzz.js library for all audio interaction, including detection for MP3 and OGG format support.

Knockout.js is used for user interface data binding and interactions.

A lightweight audio player JavaScript object was developed (contained in js/player.js) to wrap buzz.js and handle play/pause logic, among other things.
