rated 0 times [ 112] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 33365 / 13 Years ago, wed, september 7, 2011, 12:00:00

anyone have any idea how to accomplish gapless looping for the audio tag? I'm thinking something javascript based..

I have a loop say 1 measure and I want it to loop and stay in tempo. So I need the loop to be smooth/gapless. When i simply set loop to true it will lag and does not stay in tempo.

Unfortunately this is one of the weaknesses of the HTML5 element. There is no guarantee that audio will play when you want it to or without delay.

There are two options worth looking into:

SoundManager2 - a great library that would probably be helpful here, though it'll use Flash to play the audio in this case;

Web Audio API in Chrome or the Audio Data API in Firefox - both are really new, and not really ready for prime time yet, but allow you to do things like scheduled audio playback, looping and a whole lot more.
