The VIP has been one of my main sources of background music while working. + +This is an HTML5-based replacement player for the VIP. I created it because the original player for the VIP is Flash-based. Since Flash is outdated and insecure, I decided to hack together a new player. Now the "Vidya Intarweb Playlist" is accessible on all my devices. + + + +[Listen Here](http://fpgaminer.github.io/vip-html5-player) +---------------------------------------------------------- +[Original Player Here](http://vip.aersia.net/vip.swf) + + + +What's Different +================ + +I cloned the aesthetic of the original VIP player, so everything looks and feels the same. There are a few differences and improvements. + +**Differences** + + * The context menu has been replaced by a small credits box in the lower right corner, to properly credit Cats777 and link back to Aersia. + +**Missing** + * Optimizing style and behavior of volume controls + +**New** + * Next Track button goes to a random track, instead of next in the playlist. + * Previous Track button goes to the track previously played, instead of the previous in the playlist. + * Playlist Selection dropdown. Easily switch between the different VIP playlists (VIP, Mellow, Source, Exiled, WAP, CPP). + + +Compatibility +============= + +This player should be compatible with all modern devices and browsers that support HTML5 and M4A (AAC) audio files. If you run into any bugs, let me know! + +I have tested the current version on Firefox (Ubuntu), iPhone 5, and iPad 3. On the latter two, the playlist doesn't play automatically the first time; just tap a track to begin. Also, on the iPhone the player controls are incredibly tiny. Both bugs will be fixed.
