Play audio local file with html

I'm trying to do something like this.

But I don't know why I'm not getting this thing work. Here it is the codepen example:

$('input').on('change', function(e) {

  var file = e.currentTarget.files[0];

  var reader = new FileReader();

  reader.onload = function(e) {
    $('audio source').attr('src', e.target.result);
  }   

  reader.readAsDataURL(file);
});

The source tag is receiving the base64 mp3 file, but it doesn't load the file into browser.

Solution

  • You set the src attr directly on the audio element. fiddle

    var $audio = $('#myAudio');
$('input').on('change', function(e) {
  var target = e.currentTarget;
  var file = target.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();
  
  console.log($audio[0]);
   if (target.files && file) {
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $audio.attr('src', e.target.result);
            $audio.play();
        }
        reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    }
});
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="file">
<audio controls id="myAudio" autoplay></audio>
