audio experimentation

I'm looking for a player that will work for everyone. In the comments, let me know what browser you are using, whether you are on a PC or Mac, and which of these you can see and play. Thanks!

  2. I don't see any difference between 2,5 and 3,6 :P

    6 doesn't have an audio track.

    4 doesn't show up anything (Windows XP, Firefox)

    My choises: 1,2,3,7 :)

    ReplyDelete
  3. In IE8 1,3,5,and 7 work for me.

    In Firefox with that new Adobe plugin update 10.0.05 from yesterday 1,2,3,5, and 7 work.

    6 shows up in both browsers but does nothing. Still getting the quicktime icon in IE8 (2 and 4) but nothing else and I could not find an update that would make it work.

    ReplyDelete
  4. 1, 3, 5, 7 work for me. i'm on a PC and my browser is IE7

    ReplyDelete
  5. 1,2,3,4,5,7 work for me I use Safari on a mac computer. I don't really like 1 but it works. 6 shows up on my browser but once I hit play it does nothing

    ReplyDelete
  6. iPhone visitor here and this is the first time I have been able to hear ANYTHING on the site. 3,4,5,6 played on my iPhone which is awesome. That yahoo player was rubbish and anything flash an iPhone cannot play or see.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  10. windows 7 64bit, firefox
    1,2,3,7 worked
    4,5,6 didn't work

    I like 1 and 7 the most and I think 7 would work best

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have a Mac. 6 didn't work at all, it just sat there. 1-5 & 7 all worked fine but 1,3,4, 7 were much clearer. 2 & 5 had a lot of fuzzy static.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I have a PC and use internet explorer. All of them except for 2 and 4 work on my computer.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm on a PC using Google Chrome. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 work fine. 5 is just a blank box, and I can see 6, but when I press play nothing happens.
    7 is my personal favorite. =]

    ReplyDelete
  14. On a PC using firefox. 1,2, and 7 are the only ones that worked for me. 6 shows, but doesn't play anything, 4 is just a black box, and the rest are blank. (hope this helps, I really love to hear the audio) :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. 1, 2, 6, 7 work for me with Firefox on a PC!

  16. Yeah I second 3-6 for iPhone. Please keep one of those for iPhone users!

    ReplyDelete
  17. all but 2 and 4 work for me with IE on windows xp

  18. mac-firefox, only 1 and 7 work for me. Can't even see 3 & 5

    ReplyDelete
  19. Windows 7 64bit, Google Chrome browser....

    3 does not work!

    ReplyDelete
  20. 4 doesn't work (up to date firefox on windows xp)
    The others work. Personally I prefer 3 and 7. I don't like 1 (not a fan of the bottom of the page thing...thinking about listening to multiple files).

    P.S. Thanks so much for testing multiple options! The current version with pink play button rarely works for me.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Windows 7 64bit, Chrome 4.1.something.

    1) works, but it's awkward
    2) works
    3) doesn't quite work (controls out of reach)
    4) works
    5) doesn't work (extra plugin needed, can't bother)
    6) doesn't work
    7) works

    I would personally go with 7 or 2.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 2, 4, 6 & 7 work for me. I'm on a PC and I use Google Chrome for my browser

    ReplyDelete
  23. Everything but player number 5. I'm a mac user and I'm working on google chrome at the moment!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm a PC on Google chrome
    1-4 and 7 work well.
    5 states a plug-in is required that is not available to me
    6 I can see but it will not play

    good luck sifting through all of this and making a decision! You guys are hilariously awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  34. 1, 2, and 7 works perfectly for me (PC, Firefox). 3 and 5 actually works with the audio, but it is just shown as a couple of black squares. 4 and 6 doesn't work at all.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I can see and hear 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7.
    On a PC with Google Chrome..

    And just for the record, you've got followers in Sweden too ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm using a PC (Windows Vista) with Firefox. 1, 2, and 7 work. 3-5 don't show up, and 6 just doesn't play.

    ReplyDelete
  38. 5 and 6 do not work for me on a PC, using Google Crome. 3 works, but plays automatically, which meant that several clips started up at once when I opened the site today.

    ReplyDelete
  39. With 4 you aught to disable the graceful degradation when testing:

    ie:





    You do not support the audio tag :(


    note: you must create an .ogg file AND an .mp3 file (you can use audacity to export to .ogg)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ah html is not supported :( please email me back

    ReplyDelete
  41. They all work but 4 and 6. 4 is a blank gray box, and 6 is visible, but does not play.

    Am I the first Linux user to post here? Running Firefox 3.6.3 on Ubuntu Linux 9.10

    Power to the penguins! and the werepigs!

    ReplyDelete
  42. 5 and 6 dont work for me but that could because i'm using google chrome also 7 will automatically play when the page loads so i got all the audio clips playing at the same time.....

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm on pc using Chrome. I'm pretty sure it's number 3 that's playing as soon as the page loads - you can see the bar moving along.

    It is quite bizarre, having lots of Sleep Talkin' Men all talking at once!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm on Google Chrome on a pc as well. #3 plays as soon as the page opens, which is a problem on the main page, because they are all playing!!

    #5 and 6 don't work for me at all.

    The rest work just fine!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Im on IE8 and PC and 1,3,5,6,& 7 all worked for me.

    ReplyDelete
  46. 3 and 5 work for me on Internet Explorer 7(or 8...I'm not entirely sure) using a PC. 7 didn't work at all, it just kept trying to buffer.

    ReplyDelete
  47. The nice thing about 3, 4 and 5 is that they work on my iPhone.

    6 works too, but it becomes just a link to the sound instead of having the graphic.

    ReplyDelete
  48. 1+2 work
    34+5 only show black boxes where the media should be
    6 shows but plays no sound
    7 works

    I am using firefox under linux, ubuntu.

  49. My testing is as follows:

    Test machine: Intel Core2 Duo @ 3.16GHz running 2Gb RAM, sporting a Windows 7 Professional operating system, fully up to date.

    Cache is cleaned for test of each player.

    Firefox 3.6.3:
    Player 1: Works, stutters slightly at start.
    Player 2: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 3: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 4: Does not work, does not display.
    Player 5: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 6: Displays, does not play.
    Player 7: Works, no stutter at start.

    Google Chrome 4.1.249.1045 unknown (42898):
    Player 1: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 2: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 3: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 4: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 5: "No plugin available to display this content."
    Player 6: Displays, does not play.
    Player 7: Works, no stutter at start.

    Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385:
    Player 1: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 2: Works, stutters at start.
    Player 3: Works, no stutter at start.
    Player 4: Works, stutters at start. CSS causes a large vertical margin at the top/bottom in both native and quirks/compatibility mode.
    Player 5: Does not load/display.
    Player 6: Works, stutters at start.
    Player 7: Works, no stutter at start.

    Opera 10.51.3315:
    Wierd stuff happened in this browser. See notes for details.
    Player 1: Works, no stutter at start, each play causes the total time indicator to increase 10 seconds. Does not repeat. Only needs one click to play.
    Player 2: Works, no stutter at start, repeats multiple times, more times each time the page is reloaded. Requires two clicks to play.
    Player 3: Works, no stutter at start. Requires two clicks to play.
    Player 4: Looks nice, doesn't play. Requires two clicks to play.
    Player 5: Works, no stutter at start. Requires two clicks to play.
    Player 6: Loads, does not play. Requires two clicks to play.
    Player 7: Works, no stutter at start. Requires two clicks to play. Repeats, with more repeats on each refresh.
    This browser seems to have some bug or something to do with file handling and sizes, maybe. Also, flash objects and media plugins have to take focus by one click before they will respond to further mouse clicks.

    I have other test machines with other operating systems (Windows Vista and XP) I can test on if needed.

    By this testing, player 1 and 2 are the best options, IMO.

  50. All but 6 works for me. Firefox on Windows XP. Although #1 works, I don't like the popup.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  53. 1, 2 and 7 work for me Mozilla Firefox is what I use on my P.C. Windows Vista. 3 through 6 show the dark bar, but that's it. Even tried refreshing and that's it.

  54. Oh, sorry, #6 shows the actual player bar but won't play :-(

    ReplyDelete
  55. Only 3 and 5 work for me.
    I use firefox on Ubuntu (Linux).

    ReplyDelete
  56. 1,3,5,6 & 7 all work for me. 2 & 4 just appear to be almost blank spaces, but I think that must be an issue on my end.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Opera, XP
    1,2,7 work fine.

    7 I've had work on various podcast pages, and it worked better than the old one (which had some issues with playing clips too close after eachother)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hi, i'm using Google Chrome (on a windows PC)
    number 5 doesnt show up, 6 shows but does not work. All the others work fine.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Macbook using Firefox. Only #1 works for me. What ever you had before also worked great. (3&5 don't even show up)

    HOWEVER; when I open Safari they all work except #6.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Using Chrome on a windows PC.
    I can see them all, only that 6 is not working. . .

    ReplyDelete
  61. Also tested on google reader (again: PC, Chrome)
    3, 4, 5 & 7 are not visible
    1 and 6 show as links and when I click it opens a new window.
    2 is the only one showing up correctly (and playing too :D)

    ReplyDelete
  62. pc, windows 7, google chrome
    they all work except number 6

    ReplyDelete
  63. 4 and 6 does not work for me. I am on a Mac on Firefox.

  65. I'm on OS X 10.5 (Apple Mac) using Safari 4.0.5. They all work except 5 and 6. I really like no. 7 you are using.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, using Firefox 3.6.3.

    1, 2, 3, 5 & 7 works fine.

    4 only displays a big x on the box.

    6 shows the player, and I can press play, but it doesnt't play any sound!

    (I also really like number 7)

    ReplyDelete
  67. I've got 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7. I'm on a Mac running Google Chrome.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I'm on PC and Chrome (or, sometimes IE). They both play everything except for 5 and 6. But I guess you already realized it so far :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. 1,3,4, and 7 work for me (PC, Chrome). 2 and 6 don't show up at all. 5 is just a puzzle piece icon.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I'm on a PC running Windows 7, using Google Chrome as my browser.
    1, 3, 4, and 7 all show up, but three won't works (displays that frustratig little circley thing when I mouse over), 5 shows up as a puzzle piece, and the rest don't show up at all. I prefer number 7, except that the "or click here" text in the blog prevents it from opening all the way.

    ReplyDelete
  71. OK, here's my results:
    Platform: Mandriva Linux 2010

    Firefox 3.6.3
    1 Player appears floating on bottom of page
    2 Can't see
    3 Embedded media player (mplayer)
    4 Big dark grey box containing an X
    5 Embedded media player (mplayer) - slightly larger than 3, contains progress bar
    6 Ordinary html link to the mp3 file, loads in new page
    7 Neat little flash player thingy, works

    So all the odds work fine for me - 1, 3, 5, 7.

    Google Chrome 5.0.307.11 beta
    1 Player appears floating at bottom of page
    2 Can't see
    3 Embedded media player (mplayer)
    4 Dark grey flash player, works
    5 Can't see
    6 Can't see
    7 Neat little flash player thingy, works

    So on Chrome, 1, 3, 4 and 7 work.
    Combining the two, 1, 3, and 7 are the best. But as 1 remains on screen after playing and has to be manually closed, I'd say options 3 or 7.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm on a Mac, using Safari for my browser, and numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 work. 2 and 6 don't even show up.

  76. I'm running Mac OSX version 10.6.3, Safari 4.0.4.
    1,3,4, &7 work for me, but 2 & 6 are completely blank, and 5 is just a black bar which doesn't do anything.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 work on Firefox 3 Mac OS 10.4.11

    ReplyDelete
  78. 1, 3, 4, 7 work on Safari on a Macbook Pro. Mac OS 10.6.3

  80. I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on a PC and 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 worked for me. By the way, thank you guys so much for giving me so many things to giggle about!

    ReplyDelete
  81. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 works for me.
    I'd prefer #1 though. #7 started Spotify and blared an advertisement immediately after. Gah.

    I'm on WinXP using the latest Mozilla Firefox.

  82. I can see 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. And i much prefer the ease and speed of 7.

  86. I can hear 1,3,5,6,and 7 using Firefox for Mac. I can't see 2 at all and 4 is just a gray box with an x in it.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Mac OS 10.5.8
    Firefox v 3.6.6
    2's invisible
    4's a grey box
    I loath #6 because it requires the use of a new page, and thus forces me to take action with the back arrow to return to the original audio selection page
    1 is slightly superior, auditorily
    The rest broadcast a bit of phasing, stuttering, metallic swirly sound.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I've got Mac OS X and my browser is Safari (which I didn't realize I was using until just now, let me try Firefox...).

    On Safari 2 and 6 don't show up, but everything else is fine.

    On Firefox 1 takes you to a new window (you have to go back to get to the blog entry), 2 and 4 don't show up, and everything else works.

    ReplyDelete

    5. fine
    6. opens in new window so have to backup to get back to home page but works

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a Mac running 10.4.11

    1,3,5 and 7 all work fine. I particularly like the format for 7.

    6 plays, but takes me to a new page that is just a player, which is not so convenient.

    2 and 4 don't show players for me at all.

    ReplyDelete
  96. 1, 3, 4 & 7 all work perfectly. There's place-marker for 5 (a picture of a puzzle piece) and 2 and 6 are not there at all.

  97. 1, 3, 4, 7 works for me in Safari 5 on the Mac. Do you guys accept new designs for your shirts? I'd be very interested in designing some of your new tees.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I can play all of them but 2 & 6. I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.6, running Safari 5.0.1

    4.shows only as a blank grey box.
    5.works, but as it seems to have mute set as default, you've missed half the clip before you make it audible.
    6.takes you to another window to play the clip.If you were reading the blog now you have to press the back button on your browser to go back there.
    7.works.
