FAQ For Simple Music Player With JAVASCRIPT Code

In this music player, do we need to attach a music file or it’s working with online music?

Yes, you can add some music files in this folder and attach them with src attributes in html code and it’s working well. Also, you can also connect the online music player URL so it’s perfectly working with online audio too. Currently, this is working with the online audio URL.

In this music player project which programing language is used?

We use Html code to create music player structure and use css code for styling the music player and use javascript for playing music with complete functionality.
