Pure JavaScript MP3 Decoder – jsmad
20
Jun
jsmad is a JavaScript-powered MP3 decoder which allows browsers to play MP3 files without Flash .
The project is actually the port of the popular libmad audio decoder and a great effort of translating 15,000 lines of C code.
It has support for ID3 (with most of the tags) and works out-of-the-box in Firefox, requires "enabling Web Audio API" in Chrome and other browsers are not yet compatible.
As you can guess, the project is pretty experimental. With better browser support, it will be so useful specially for building real-time audio applications implemented in JavaScript.

I recall issues with MP3 codec patents. Does this library have that potential gotcha? I tried to check the site, but my corp net is having issues reaching it.
