Music Player Building

After doing some research into Music players, I need to start creating my own.

I trawled through the web trying to look for information to help me. I found some decent enough things that other people have put out there, however nothing that I really want to use. Also because they have written the code, and a lot of them are just variations of jPlayer, which is nice but I don't want to use jPlayer. I wanted to create something of my own.

I used this link http://www.jquery4u.com/media/10-jquery-html5-audio-players/ which has plenty of examples on, but I wouldn't be learning if I was to just copy from them and paste it into my own application.

I carried on searching and remembered Youtube is quite a good place to get tutorials on how to create things within any sort of language!

I watched this 2 part tutorial, on how to create a fully customisable one.

This tutorial was very helpful and really renewed my knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery. It also reminded me that I aught to start using the languages a lot more than I already do.

The tutorial doesn't cover everything for example it doesn't cover a previous button but will cover a next button. It also doesn't show you how to customise what you have built.


Now I understand that I have to create a web application using jQuery Mobile, but what I've tried is to put it within a jQuery Mobile template and see if it works!
