What are the shortcomings of using JPlayer? I heard only positive reviews, and would love to get the flipside, if there's any.

Re: JPlayer : HTML5 Audio & Video for jQuery
#12Just discovered a week or so ago and have been using on a little side project. So far nothing but good things to say about JPlayer. Skins are easy to create, it loads well, looks nice enough. Great for prototyping with if nothing else. Though with all the good things about JPlayer, the codec issues and incompatibilities amongst browsers, I cannot say the same for HTML5 video in general.
I was thinking about using on a project, that's why I'm asking.

#13I know it isn't the typical use case but is there anything similar that (also) supports flac? (or even wma?)

Are you planning on serving (or streaming with a lot of buffering) FLAC audio on a public site? Why not re-encode and save everyone bandwidth?

#17I have written a simple WebAudioPlayer around it. You give it an URL with some MP3 directory listing, it loads that and plays them all in queue. https://github.com/albertz/WebAudioPlayer E.g.: http://albertz.github.com/WebAudioPlayer/#http://28c3.ex23.d...
What i don't understand- probably to do with the jPlayer- is that it seems to know the length of the song before it has all loaded (because of the seekbar lengths), yet it only increases the time string as the file is loaded.
