Question 1

How to implement a custom audio player with ts-audio?

Accepted Answer

Use the Audio or AudioPlaylist components from the library to handle playback logic, then build your own HTML/CSS interface and hook up event listeners, as shown in the interactive controls example. You'll need to handle UI updates manually based on audio state changes.

Question 2

ts-audio vs howler.js for game audio?

Accepted Answer

ts-audio is lighter and simpler with playlist features, but howler.js has broader support for spatial audio and effects, making it better for complex games. For basic game sounds or music playlists, ts-audio's zero dependencies and TypeScript support can be advantageous.

Question 3

Does ts-audio support audio visualization?

Accepted Answer

No, ts-audio focuses on playback and playlist management without built-in visualization tools; you'd need to integrate with the native Web Audio API or other libraries for audio analysis and visualization, which adds complexity.

Question 4

How to handle autoplay policies with ts-audio?

Accepted Answer

ts-audio doesn't bypass browser autoplay restrictions, so ensure user interaction before calling play(), as noted in the troubleshooting section. Use event listeners to trigger playback after user actions like clicks.

Question 5

Can I use ts-audio with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ts-audio is framework-agnostic and can be integrated into React, Vue, or other frameworks by managing lifecycle methods, as shown in the React example with useEffect cleanup. Always call destroy() in component unmounts to prevent memory leaks.
