And like nearly all audio players on the web it’s tiny. I don’t know what it is that causes all these players to be so tiny. They are often the central thing on their page – the thing people come to the page for – but they are nearly invisible. Practically all podcasters are especially egregious offenders.
Some are starting to get it. Soundcloud, terrible in every other way, at least has this really big player with a big and obvious play button. That’s how it’s done.
