Breakthroughs In HTML Audio Via Manipulation With JavaScript

Posted by timothy on from the infinite-malleability dept.

jamienk writes "Imagine if you could grab and manipulate audio with JavaScript just like you can images with Canvas. Firefox experimental builds let you do just that: crazy audio visualizations, a graphic equalizer, even text-to-speech, all in JavaScript! Work in progress; you need a special build of Firefox (videos available), being worked on via W3C."

    So I'm guessing it only supports FLAC and Ogg Vorbis?

    The quicker we can get away from our reliance on that god awful Quicktime, the better.

      What do you mean by "We beat Microsoft and Apple once before"? The market share for both Firefox and Opera is stable but the marketshare for Safari and Chrome is going up.

      Firefox is bloated, I for one don't want to use it. It's either Safari, Chrome or Opera for me.
