AmplitudeJS is an open-source cross-platform music player for users of the modern web. It features a beautiful minimalist and intuitive interface across virtually all web browsers.
With Amplitude, you can build your own audio player complete with your custom design and layout. Songs are to be added via the main Amplitude.init() method in JSON format. See the way its done with three songs in the codepen below:
Amplitude.init({
"songs": [
{
"name": "Song Name 1",
"artist": "Artist Name",
"album": "Album Name",
"url": "/song/url.mp3",
"cover_art_url": "/cover/art/url.jpg"
},
{
"name": "Song Name 2",
"artist": "Artist Name",
"album": "Album Name",
"url": "/song/url.mp3",
"cover_art_url": "/cover/art/url.jpg"
},
{
"name": "Song Name 3",
"artist": "Artist Name",
"album": "Album Name",
"url": "/song/url.mp3",
"cover_art_url": "/cover/art/url.jpg"
}
]
});
With AmplitudeJS, you can see a list of all your subscribed courses.
