1)Adding Autoplay to audio player
For making the player auto play the audio file as soon as the visitors opens your page, you just need to add "autoplay" in the first line.
Now your code will look like :
<audio controls autoplay>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
2) Restricting the player to auto stream content when the page is loaded
Whenever the page where the audio player is opened, the audio player will start to stream the audio file so that when the user plays the audio, it is available without buffering.
However, in certain cases when there are multiple audio embedded in a single page, for example say a page which contains a music album, in that case, if the audio player stream all of the audio, then it will surely affect the visitors internet speed and data. Also if a visitor is on the webpage to listen only one of the several audios, still the audio player will stream all the audio files.
To restrict the preloading of audio files, use the code preload="none"
the modified code will look like :
<audio controls preload="none">
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
