       What I Did 
       -----------
       
       
       A PoC for a Web Audio Player using client-side decoding to circumvent the codec-issues with browsers at the time (mainly the absence of FLAC decoders). I implemented both client and server using Aurora.js and Flac.js . 
       
       
       How it looks 
       -------------
       
       
       A simple interface targeted at the high quality minded audiophile. Less is more.

       Insane idea? 
       -------------
       
       
       Yep, it turns out that there are some issues doing this (crackling, stuttering, jitter, low priority in background tabs → major stutter) that are not easily solved. Playing in a foreground tab without touching the mouse or keyboard worked pretty well though :-) 
       
       - Update 2019  -
       
       
       Most browsers have native FLAC support.
