Play local audio file using html

Question

I am trying to do something like this .

But I do not know why I do not get this job. Here is an example codepen:

$('input').on('change', function(e) {

  var file = e.currentTarget.files[0];

  var reader = new FileReader();

  reader.onload = function(e) {
    $('audio source').attr('src', e.target.result);
  }   

  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});

The source tag receives the base64 mp3 file, but it does not download the file to the browser.

Answer 1

You set srcattr directly to the audio element. fiddle

var $audio = $('#myAudio');
$('input').on('change', function(e) {
  var target = e.currentTarget;
  var file = target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  
  console.log($audio[0]);
   if (target.files && file) {
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $audio.attr('src', e.target.result);
            $audio.play();
        }
        reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    }
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="file">
<audio controls id="myAudio" autoplay></audio>

Run codeHide result

Answer 2

<audio controls>
<source src="yoraudio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="youraudio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

In UWP, you can directly play a file that you can get by name from the Music Library, as shown below. Just get permission to access the Music Library by checking the library in the "Features" tag of your project properties.

picksinglefile();
        var l = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.musicLibrary;
        var f = localStorage.getItem("alarmname").toString();
        l.getFileAsync(f).then(function (file) {
            // storagefile file is available
            var s = window.URL.createObjectURL(file);  // its a storage file, so create URL
            player1.setAttribute("src", s);
            player1.play(); // if autoplay is false or off
        });


function picksinglefile() {
// Create the picker object and set options
var fop = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
fop.suggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.musicLibrary;
fop.fileTypeFilter.replaceAll([".mp3", ".wav"]);
fop.pickSingleFileAsync().then(function (file) {
    if (file) {
        localStorage.setItem("alarmname", file.name.toString());
    } else {
        alert("Operation Cancelled");
    }
});
