publishing music

Since I often use to tinker with guitars, I wondered how I could publish “stuff” that I would record. I didn’t want to use flash (because flash ought to die, Die, DIE!) and I didn’t want to rely on a third-party (that would most likely try to use flash to do so).
But HTML5 has been out for some time now, most browsers I use support it nowadays, so maybe it’s time to try it in public:

The bad news here, if it works (not for safari?), is that I have to encode it twice for compatibility, but it’s not like it matters really much. And also, yeah, I think (or certainly hope somehow) that it won’t work with most (all) versions of Internet Explorer (die, Die, DIE!). Not that I care about this, in fact.

    thank you, I’ll listen to it when i’m home.
    let me know if that works, and how blond-user-friendly it is i.e if i can use it to do the same on mine.
    It’s time for me too I think.

    Currently, I’m still using HTML without any trick behind, and you could probably do the same thing on your blogger by using the “Edit HTML” tab when composing a post. However, you still would need to find hosting for your audio files.
    (my blog software allows me to upload other media than video and pictures, so I just host my content myself)

    Note to myself (and others if need be): For the audio tag to properly work for Safari with multiple sources, the correct type for MP3 files is really audio/mpeg and not things like audio/mp3.
