Thanks for the feedback, jaquis! Re: Chrome 13, I haven't had a chance to test this myself, but I suspect that dev.kill() doesn't work as expected then :/ if it's a Chrome bug that would really suck cause it wouldn't be the first one.. see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82795 (seriously Google Chrome team, get your stuff straight!) Re cool feature: actually, we had in mind using the Official.fm Simple API (see http://official.fm/developers/simple/ for more infos) to add a Search feature. As an official.fm dev, though I'm warning you: our search system is undergoing serious refactoring and the current system has lots of... room for improvement, put politely. Thanks again for your time! While I'm at it, I forgot to say this, but: if you have MP3s that don't play, please upload them on Mediafire and submit a Github bug re

In JavaScript mp3 decoder allows Firefox to play mp3 without flash
Good question :) If you watch the resources/network tab under Chrome/Firebug you'll notice that decoder.js isn't used in the demo. It's my unfinished attempt to port libmad's decoder.c, so it still contains a bit of C code, I'm not even sure it's valid Javascript at this point :) In the demo, we're replicating some of its functionality in https://github.com/nddrylliog/jsmad/blob/master/src/player.j... instead, although in a less robust way.
