Not seeing an obvious way to change the volume.
Not seeing an obvious way to change the volume.
May I ask why you would want to change the volume of a browser widget over, say, a browser, or your system volume? As someone that has developed a similar widget, I've never understood this request, and more often than not, users accidentally mute themselves.
Looks really nice. Am I blind or is there no volume control? Is there a reason you chose to exclude it?
We definitely gave this some thought. We put it aside to keep the player minimal assuming that people listening would resort to using the volume control built into their computers. We have the functionality for it there in the source but we just need to implement a UI for it.

A couple people have asked for this today. I think I'll be pushing a UI for this in the next couple of days :)
I love the minimal look and the thought that went into the design. I will definite check it out further. It will be interesting how you fit the volume control into the component which at the moment looks really well balanced and laid out. (ie. How you might improve the already-excellent UI by adding something to it)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd like to add my own feedback. I believe volume control is an essential feature of a music player, even more so than play and pause. You'll find that many users of web apps riot without one. For example, on some flash game portals, games without volume controls get spammed with 1-star ratings. To many people, volume is more important than any other function.
Nice work, Tim! Just a heads up: the D3 visualization doesn't seem to be working in FF28 on Win 7.
The screenshots I saw on github look great but it's a complete no-go on Firefox 24.10 on linux.

Think of turning up your system or browser volume for a quiet song, and then viewing a loud flash video. You might hurt your ears or disturb someone. Adjusting only your music player for songs without ruining your volume setting for some other source gives you a finer control.

Ouch. We didn't have a Linux machine around to test that case but we will definitely look into it. Right now Chrome is the best supported for our player.
