  The time elapsed counter is not working properly with my short code audio player. I checked your site and it isn’t working either…

  How can I fix this? I’d like the time to count down…

  Thanks for your help.

  Best,

  Sorry for the trouble, we’re looking into this.

  Now all the audio on my site has turned into download links. This is unacceptable!

  It is important that the viewer is able to play the audio on the original page so that they can view the photograph and read the transcription.

  We have had to temporarily disable the Flash audio player. If your browser does not natively support the format of the embedded audio file, you’ll see a download link instead.

  At this time:

  Chrome natively supports: .mp3, .m4a, .wav, and .ogg.

  Safari natively supports: .mp3, .m4a, .wav, but not .ogg (which will display a download link).

  Firefox natively supports: .wav and .ogg, but not .mp3 and .m4a (which will both display a download link).

  Opera natively supports: .wav and .ogg, but not .mp3 and .m4a (which will both display a download link).

  Internet Explorer natively supports: .mp3, but not .m4a, .wav, and .ogg (which will all display a download link).

  What formats a browser chooses to natively support is entirely up to the browser’s developers, we have no control over that.

  Until now, we have given the Flash audio player precedence, fallen back to the browser’s native player when Flash isn’t available, and then fallen back to the Download link when the format is not supported by the browser.

  With the Flash player temporarily disabled, we are giving the browser’s native player precedence and falling back to the Download link when the format is not supported by the browser.

  Whether it’s via an embedded player or a Download link, all of your viewers will be able to play the audio files.

  In better news, the counter issue will be fixed when the Flash audio player comes back.
