Add “Buffering…” for when loading tracks

  • Hi guys,

    Often when high quality MP3s (eg. 160 or 192kbps) are used they will take a few seconds to load. When this happens users often think the player is broken since there is no indicator that the songs are buffering.

    Can you add “Buffering…” or a spinning circle which appears while a song is loading?

    Hello! Thanks for the recommendation. I think this is a reasonable feature and I’m going to explore on how to integrate it, thank you!

    Awesome thanks! That will make it a perfect self-hosted replacement for the soundcloud player

    Hi Vassilis!

    Any update on this feature? We’re still seeing a high bounce rate in the first few seconds on pages where the player is loading high bitrate files. We’ve gotten some feedback from users and can confirm that the reason is, it seems like the player isn’t working when there’s no spinning circle / indication that the audio is still buffering.

    Cheers
