amazing WOW love the new audio component!!!

Great work, Dan and team! The audio player is beautiful! I’ll be making the switch to Elements soon!

Need (2) Things:

(1) Ability to send people to Online Listening Services: Spotify - Apple - YouTube - Amazon
(2) Got to have a button area - Buy Now!

Tried the medium, loose too much of the art work…
Like the large player - but needs those 2 things above

Could you not do a two column layout with the player in one, and the social links and a buy button in the second?

Yes - don’t want to seem like an ass - complaining - it is amazing! Just wish for a little more flexibility…

I took off the box shadow - and I’m trying larger Icon underneath!

Combine it with other components to achieve this.

They are all the same Audio c+Component, you just need to tweak the settings to get it looking how you want :slight_smile:

Haha, have a play around, there’s surprisingly lot you can customise in it. If there’s anything specifically you want a setting for let us know, and we’ll see what we can do :wink:

Can’t decide if I should Change All Colors or Not…

Supposedly when you hover the color should go darker implying depth (from my understanding)

The template starts of dark blue - then goes to lighter blue…

Flex Icons go from light blue to dark on hover - (the way is should be as I understand it)

It’s personally preference, there’s no right or wrong answer for the rollover highlight. Go darker or lighter, it’s your choice :slight_smile:

This is great. Another request together with the 2 @MichaelDroste suggested,

(3) Ability to download the track from out of the audio player (would probably need a button to turn on/off in the inspector).

Is there a way to point to my CDN for the music rather than uploading it to my server? @ben

Could we possibly get Lazy Loading? of Graphics - I have 70 album covers trying to load on home page…

Thank you for any consideration in this matter…

We already have this feature…

It should work with “Remote Resources”, give it a go and let us know how you get on :slight_smile:

This player is a great start - Thank you! A minute and seconds counter would be a good addition. And, the ability to have no artwork, but a simple long, slim, single track player with just a PLAY button and a time counter for example.

Lazy loading of the image inside of large audio player please - 70 players - 70 semi large images….

Sorry for the confusion….

-Mike

That’s not currently available - see image zone vs audio zone

also, flex background is missing Remote Resource also

I meant to add a remote resource this way… Right-click on “Resources” and choose “Add Remote Resource”

You can then drag that “remote resource” to the drop well.

Let me know how you get on.
