You can call .playPause() on your audiojs instance.

How can you get the instance ? I've tried this, but it doesn't work:

audiojs.instances['0'].load($('a', this).attr('data-src'));

Chiming in here too. Calling .play() on the audio element starts playing, but the actual element doesn't update and shows the pause icon still.

As far as I know - This is because you are accessing the html5 audio instance and not the audiojs instance.

As part of my work to write a script that would play sequentially through a list of multiple audio.js players on a page (representing CD tracks) I was able to call play() on audio.js instances and have the targeted player update to display a 'play' icon:

$('.audiojs').each(function(index) {
    var container = $(this);
    var audioPlayer = container.find('audio');

    audioPlayer.nextPlayerInstance = 'audiojs' + (index + 1);

    audioPlayer.on('ended', function() {
        if (audiojs.instances[audioPlayer.nextPlayerInstance]) {
            audiojs.instances[audioPlayer.nextPlayerInstance].play();
        }
    });
});

Hello,

I had audiojs player on one of my ASP.NET page webform as show below and everything worked fine. My question is: Is there way to make the track play for only 30 seconds instead of the whole track after the play button was clicked? Thank you very much!

<audio preload ="auto">
            <source src ='TestSong.mp3' type ="audio/mp3" />
        </audio>
