>Get a modern browser >First things first—make sure you’re running a modern browser. My favorite is Chrome but Safari will also do. This app currently only supports webkit. More browsers coming soon. What is Opera or IE9 then? Chopped liver? Am I the only one hating this new version of "Best viewed with IE5" and browser specific tag soup whose behavior changes even with the versions of the specified browsers?

What else is the author supposed to do? HTML5 is still in its infancy and browser support varies quite a bit. I have written several HTML5 experiments that work in some browsers and not in others (most notably for me is Chrome and Firefox support the FileReader API while Safari does not), there isn't much else that can be done at this point.

IE9 is not a modern browser http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2326048 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2326048

  I haven't done research into which (if any) html5 audio formats that IE9 supports. I fully plan to add feature detection to serve the correct audio format to the correct browser—IE9 included.

    Tonight I added support for .ogg in opera. https://github.com/cgcardona/boombox.js/commit/931b069c7b2532c39a903f9ce3e7d726670c5fea https://github.com/cgcardona/boombox.js/commit/931b069c7b253... Firefox is working on my local machine so it should be supported in production by tomorrow. I need to research more about IE9's HTML5 audio support but it shouldn't be difficult to add support for it also.

This is now working in ALL modern browsers: Firefox Chrome Safari (OSX/iOS) Opera and yes IE9 :-]
