You can create a JavaScript that allows the user to play a music or an audio file.<\/p>\n

In order to play an audio file in a browser, you need to use the <audio> tag. The audio object is new in HTML5.<\/p>\n

The <audio> element has a number of properties, one of them is controls<\/strong>. The controls property sets or returns whether an audio should have controls displayed like play, pause etc. \u00a0View here<\/a> for more properties of the audio object.<\/p>\n

We also need to use the <source> tag to reference the source of an audio file, \u00a0the syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n

\r\n<audio\u00a0controls>\r\n<source\u00a0src=\"music.ogg\"\u00a0type=\"audio\/ogg\">\r\n<source\u00a0src=\"music.mp3\"\u00a0type=\"audio\/mpeg\">\r\n\r\n<\/audio>\r\n<\/pre>\n
The <source> tag has to be used together with the <audio> tag<\/p>\n
Next, you can create a Play button using the play()<\/strong> method to start playing the music or audio file. The syntax is<\/p>\n
\r\nmyAudioObject.play()\r\n<\/pre>\n
It is often used together with the pause()<\/strong> method.<\/p>\n
The following is a sample script that can play a music file.<\/p>\n
\r\n<audio controls id=\"music\">\r\n<source src=\"mj.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mpeg\">\r\nYour browser does not support the audio element.\r\n<\/audio>\r\n\r\n<p>Click the buttons to play or pause the music.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<button onclick=\"play()\" type=\"button\">Play <\/button>\r\n<button onclick=\"pause()\" type=\"button\">Pause<\/button>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\nvar myMusic= document.getElementById(\"music\");\r\nfunction play() {\r\nmyMusic.play();\r\n}\r\n\r\nfunction pause() {\r\nmyMusic.pause();\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/pre>\n
*You can use your own audio file instead of mj.mp3 file in this example.<\/p>\n
View Play Music<\/a> to see the output.<\/p>\n
