Please read fully before answering (thank you):
I am wanting to seamlessly repeat a track (say 10secs) a given number of times (say 3 times) smoothly by:
How could 2 be done? An example would be great but 2 is the most puzzling.
Note: Setting the original player to repeat itself etc is not an option as it's not smooth on most browsers.

The loop attribute is a boolean attribute.
When present, it specifies that the audio will start over again, every time it is finished.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<audio controls loop>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The audio tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions.</p>

O_o This question is old why did StackOverflow show me this.
Well a simple way to do this is to listen on ended an start playing again.
function play(audio, times, ended) {
if (times <= 0) {
return;
}
var played = 0;
audio.addEventListener("ended", function() {
played++;
if (played < times) {
audio.play();
} else if (ended) {
ended();
}
});
audio.play();
}
var audio = document.getElementsByTagName("audio")[0];
play(audio, 3, function() {
var sound = new Audio("http://www.soundjay.com/button/button-1.mp3");
play(sound, 2);
});<audio src="http://www.soundjay.com/button/beep-01a.mp3"></audio>If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
