Cordova Media Plugin vs HTML5 Audio [closed]

Question

My Cordova app currently has two ways to play audio, one works on the web app and one works on the cross-platform native app.

• HTML5 for Web HTML: <audio id="audio" src="audio.mp3"></audio> JS: document.getElementById('audio').play();
• Cordova Plugin for Mobile JS new Media('audio.mp3').play();

I'm not a fan of writing things twice. Is there an audio solution that works for both web and mobile? Or an elegant way to fallback?

Answer 1

I have used both the media plugin, and HTML5 audio in Cordova apps.

The Audio element is fairly well supported on mobile.
