This code snippet helps you to create a JavaScript audio player with a playlist. It comes with custom controls including volume progress, play/pause, next/previous, shuffles, and autoplay button. Likewise, users can expand and collapse the player and playlist.
The player is purely built with JavaScript without any dependency. However, it uses Font Awesome CSS for icons. If we talk about its customization, Sekedus provide us with an easy way to control the overall behavior of the player. You can pass the configuration object through HTML5 data-attribute “data-config”. On the other hand, the interface of the audio player can be customized with additional CSS.
How to Create JavaScript Audio Player with Playlist
1. First of all, create a div element with a class name “simple-audio-player” and define its id “simp” and data-config attribute with basic player’s settings. The HTML5 audio player will be rendered through JavaScript inside this div element.
The second part of the audio player is a playlist. So, create a div element with a class name “simp-playlist” and place an unordered list of your songs files. The complete HTML structure for the audio player with playlist is as follows:
<div class="simple-audio-player" id="simp" data-config='{"shide_top":false,"shide_btm":false,"auto_load":false}'> <div class="simp-playlist"> <ul> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://www.archive.org/download/CanonInD_261/CanoninD.mp3">Canon in D</span><span class="simp-desc">Johann Pachelbel</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://www.script-tutorials.com/demos/363/data/05.mp3">Artist 5</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/6pays95q2a9jrsf/2020.01.02.mp3?dl=1" data-cover="https://i.postimg.cc/sDBycWS8/NMS-2019.jpg">Nightmare Side</span><span class="simp-desc">Set Stori</span></li> <li class="simp-active"><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/k011ag91uktonbv/Angklung%20Preman%20Pensiun.mp3?dl=1">Angklung Preman Pensiun</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/prgte33m86n9ce7/Canon%20Rock%20%28JerryC%29%20-%20funtwo.mp3?dl=1">Canon Rock (JerryC)</span><span class="simp-desc">by Funtwo</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://listento.ardanradio.com:1059/;">105.9 FM Ardan Radio</span><span class="simp-desc">Streaming Radio</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://archive.org/download/78_jailhouse-rock_elvis-presley-jerry-leiber-mike-stoller_gbia0080595b/Jailhouse%20Rock%20-%20Elvis%20Presley%20-%20Jerry%20Leiber-restored.mp3">Jailhouse Rock</span><span class="simp-desc">Elvis Presley</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://archive.org/download/J._Period_and_Michael_Jackson_-_Man_Or_The_Music-2010/17%20Smooth%20Criminal.mp3">Smooth Criminal</span><span class="simp-desc">Michael Jackson</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://archive.org/download/OldPop_256/VillagePeople-Y.m.c.a.mp3">Y.M.C.A</span><span class="simp-desc">Village People</span></li> <li><span class="simp-source" data-src="https://archive.org/download/chuckberryjohnnyb.goode/Chuck%20Berry%20-%20Johnny%20B.%20Goode.mp3">Johnny B.

In the above HTML, you just need to update the “data-src” and attribute in each li element.
2. After creating the HTML, now it’s time to style the audio player. So, copy the following CSS and include it in your project. You can change the CSS values if you want to customize the interface of the audio player.

3. In the final step you need to include the JavaScript code in your project in order to functionalize the audio player. So, copy the following audio player’s JavaScript code and paste it between the <script> tag and place it before closing the body tag. You can also create a separate JS file and include it in your project.
/* Example: https://codehim.com/demo/javascript-audio-player-with-playlist/ */ // Multiple events to a listener function addEventListener_multi(element, eventNames, handler) { var events = eventNames.split(' '); events.forEach(e => element.addEventListener(e, handler, false)); } // Random numbers in a specific range function getRandom(min, max) { min = Math.ceil(min); max = Math.floor(max); return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; } // Position element inside element function getRelativePos(elm) { var pPos = elm.parentNode.getBoundingClientRect(); // parent pos var cPos = elm.getBoundingClientRect(); // target pos var pos = {}; pos.top = cPos.top - pPos.top + elm.parentNode.scrollTop, pos.right = cPos.right - pPos.right, pos.bottom = cPos.bottom - pPos.bottom, pos.left = cPos.left - pPos.left; return pos; } function formatTime(val) { var h = 0, m = 0, s; val = parseInt(val, 10); if (val > 60 * 60) { h = parseInt(val / (60 * 60), 10); val -= h * 60 * 60; } if (val > 60) { m = parseInt(val / 60, 10); val -= m * 60; } s = val; val = (h > 0)? h + ':' : ''; val += (m > 0)? ((m < 10 && h > 0)? '0' : '') + m + ':' : '0:'; val += ((s < 10)?

Thanks for your valuable feedback.
It’s a beatifully interface and codes.
But one question how can i let it always auto play the next song after loading the page.
Hi Peter!
Thanks for your feedback! you can enable autoplay next song by passing the true value in its config options.
Many thanks, I used it on my blog. But why is the downloaded font-awesome.min.css file not working?
Hi Anhlevan!
You’re welcome. Please make sure Font Awesome CSS loaded on your webpage. Check console errors by pressing ctr+Shift+i to open chrome dev tools and check console tab. Alternatively, you can load the Font Awesome CSS by adding the following CDN link into the head tag of your webpage.
It’s 4.7 version, you can browse other versions below:

Many thanks for your detailed instructions.
Please help me with the code that makes the playing line go to the top of the play list, thanks. If you can visit “https://musicanhlevan.blogspot.com/p/nhac-mp3-nuoc-ngoai.html” and give your opinion
A good and elegant tutorial.May I ask a question?How to play the song automatically when I click the song in the list at the first time without pressing the play button.
I have just installed this code of yours in my blog. Getting very good response. But one problem is coming that since I installed it, the fonts of my blog are becoming invisible. The address of my blog is as follows: bhojpurimp3.blogspot.com
how to fix it
Hi Akhliesh!
The links color used in the player’s CSS globally effected the blog’s links, that’s why your anchor text became invisible. To solve this, just add the player’s id before the “a” selector. Find the following line:
and replace with the following:
Thank you very much. You gave very good response. Now it is working fine. One more thing is that above you have given option to play next song but it is not working for me. Also, on randomizing, the same song comes many times. Whereas I want him to play one song after another. I want to lengthen the player so that the list of all the songs in it is shown together. That means full player view. Play option is visible in mobile but random option is not visible.
Hi Asif,
thank you so much. i’m trying to implement it on my website and I have a question relative to auto_play configuration.
You mentioned to set up “auto_load”:true in the data_config section. When doing that, it doesn’t work properly on my website. It stays not activated. Did I miss something ?
Hi Vincent!
You’re welcome, please make sure you are not adding any invalid character instead of quotations. Press ctr+shift+i to open Chrome Dev Tools and check the console errors. You can detect the error if something went wrong with your configurations.
Hopefully, it will help you to figure out the error.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Looking at the console I got this error message : Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received.
Have you any idea about what it is ?
Hi
Thanks so much for this, excellent player with playlist, I’ve been looking for years for something this good.
One question, is it possible to configure the player to play a track when clicked rather than having to hit the play button?
There are no invalid characters, no console errors. “auto_load”:true does not work
Please make a youtube video on this please, I am having trouble 🙁
This is great! Exactly what I was looking for! The only thing I can’t figure out, is how to get the Album Cover to show. When I use data-cover= the div is just a black background.
How hard would it be to add the option for a text track? I.e track src=path to vtt file
How can one add a caption/description/transcript track? i.e:
For some reason my question keep vanishing. I will try again.
Looking to add a track option. Hard hard would it be?
Made a desktop version with input file.Works great
Any way to show progress on input[range] -can;t figure it out
Hi Asif,
thank you for this player !
Just one question : i don’t find how to replace the logo with a real image over.
I suppose i have to modify the html code but…
Thanks you very much for your help,
Dominique
Thank you very much for your great work. It’s the first player witch is running with my small coding-knowledge.
One question.
“auto_load”:true is not working for me, but “shide_top”:true is working – any idea?
Hi Asif, thank you for this very good media player, i use at home for my mp3s. It is really easy o install and its working fine. I have only one problem: there is no display of the cover, when i use spaces in the data-cover URL, also no display when i substitute them with %20. Do you have a hint for me? Best regards from Germany
Uwe
Hi thank a lots for his beautiful player! I want to change the logo at the top(quarter note) to put my album image instead, how can i do this? i don’t find…Thank you
This is a brilliant little player you’ve made.
Now unfortunately I’m not particularly technical, so I was just wondering if you could please let me know how to pass a number of parameters to the player?
To tell the player:
@ to start at track N when it loads (and maybe 0 if it’s not to start playing)
@ when it finishes a track to automatically go onto the next track
@ to set its volume at N
@ any other parameters which would be easy to set and which you think might be useful.
I would be most grateful for any help you can give me and I will, of course, buy you at least a coffee!
Cheers,
Philip
Is it possible to play the song automatically when I click the song in the list at the first time without pressing the play button? And thanks for this wonderful player!!
Hi, I really love your audio player, very easy to use and customize, thank you very much!
I wish there was a way to change the cover image and replace it with a thumbnail of the song instead of the fa icon is there a way to do that that I didn’t figure out?
Thank you again, great work.
How to set auto play when visiting web page?
Thanks you
THANK YOU! Thank you for your time and the excellent and simple explanation. This works beautifully.
I’ve been troubleshooting an issue where the player wouldn’t advance to the next track. I found that .currentTime could in some cases (on some devices) get higher than .duration.
I changed this:
if (simp_audio.currentTime == simp_audio.duration) {
to this:
if (simp_audio.currentTime >= simp_audio.duration) {
And now it works without a hitch.
That’s great to hear that you were able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the player not advancing to the next track!

The links color used in the player’s CSS globally effected the blog’s links,
i replaced the hover line in style as per your advice,my problem solved
thanks a lot.
kindly make a change to start the player as page loads.
kindly provide a coding to upgrade the player

Hi Tarlok,
You can update the config option to automatically load the selected audio on page loads. Here is the example:
Thanks so much for providing the code. I was able to set up my own version of iTunes on my local network using your template. Your code example was by far the best fit for my needs and your walk-through was intuitive. I included my edit of your code as my website for your page. I added you as one of the main contributors to the project.
Hi, Asif! Really enjoy your player, thank you for sharing!
I’ve two issues/questions.
1)Is it possible to add preload metadata function?
2)Is it possible to have audio playback active on mobile lock screen? Atm it’s turning off when screen gets locked.
Best wishes!
Hey there! Thanks a bunch for your message and I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the player!
So, you’ve got a couple of things on your mind, right?
Adding a preload metadata function sounds like a cool idea! Let me check into that and see how we can make it work.
Ah, the mobile lock screen issue with audio playback – totally get why that could be a bit of a hassle. I’ll dive into it and see if there’s a way to keep that music going even when your screen takes a nap.
Hi, this player is amazing but I’m not able to customize it as I’d need:
I’m unable to set the auto_load function as default, setting “auto_load”:true or simp_audio.currentTime >= simp_audio.duration does not work.
Another cool thing would be play a song automatically when clicked in the list
Great player anyway
Greetings from Italy
Hi Alessandro,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re pleased to inform you that the updated version of the player will indeed include the autoplay feature when a song is clicked in the playlist. We appreciate your patience and hope this enhancement further elevates your experience with the player.
Hi there, do we have all the config options documented somewhere? Also, I am wondering if there is a config option that will keep the top div (simp-player) pinned as you scroll down in case you have a long playlist. This will allow the controls to be always visible and accessible.
Hello! I had a question, is there a way to add multiple players to one page?
Hi Asif,
Thanks a lot for this awesome audio player and sharing it…
Just one question : How to change the progress bar (duration past) color when playing and for the volume too ?
Thanks again
Hi Asif,
thanks for this awesome player, will definetly use it!
I plan to have a YouTube Player in an iframe next to it and wonder if there is a chance when the iframe is called that an already playing track is stopped by calling a JS function for example?
Greetings from Germany.
Hey, great player though I’m struggling to have the album/playlist panels hide by default when I run the code. I changed the Shide top/bottom to true as shown below but it still loads with the panels out by default
shide_top: true, //show/hide album
shide_btm: true, //show/hide playlist
auto_load: false //auto load audio file
any help is appreciated!
Hey, love the player but the timeline scrubber doesn’t work after updating the data-src with my own file url. Heres an example
data-src=”https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//soundcloud.com/eren_music99/electric-sunrise”
data-src=”music/EDM_3.mp3″
any help would be apreciated!
Hi Asif,
I really appreciate you publishing this player! I’m enjoying working with it! I have three questions for you about it, though.
1. When I insert the first line of the Playlist Audio Player code into my HTML document: , DreamWeaver throws an error message, “The value of attribute [data-config] must be in double quotes.’ It seems to work just fine, but I’m wondering if that’s something I should be concerned about.
2. Is it possible to remove the Auto Play, Random, and Show/Hide buttons from the upper-right side of the player? I would like to just extend the volume slider over that space.
3. Is it possible to insert categories into the playlist on a separate line above a set of audio titles? For example:
Songs
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Instrumentals
Instrumental 1
Instrumental 2
Instrumental 3
etc.
I’ve been able to do it cosmetically, but it messes up the functionality. Thank you in advance for any tips or advice on how to proceed.
Hi Asif,
Thanks for this player, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for with one odd exception. When I access the player on iOS devices, the volume controls do not seem to work. They animate and move, but they don’t actually do anything to the volume. Even your example above behaves that way. The volume controls are hidden on the iPhone screen when it is in portrait orientation, but they still show in Landscape and in both orientations on the iPad.
Thankyou very much. This script is work
