Storing audio files in html5 local storage- downloading audio files with javascript

Question

I searched and found that html5 does not support directly storing audio. I will convert audios to base64 strings and then I will store in the local storage.

I am developing a html5 audio player application with jplayer. I have audios in the server and I need to store them in the local storage, so I need to download audio files with javascript. Is there way to download audio files with javascript? Any help would be appreciate.

Answer 1

Local storage tends to be limited in size (5mb ish? can't find a reference) so this is unlikely to work well.

You might be able to look in to using the HTML5 AppCache or File system API.
