how can I use html5 <audio> tag to play aac file?
aac, audio, html
Solution
Only Safari and IE support .aac. Here is what each browser supports:
- Internet Explorer 9.0+: .mp3, .aac
- Chrome: .ogg, .mp3, .wav, .aac*
- Firefox: .ogg, .wav
- Safari: .mp3, .aac, .wav
- Opera: .ogg, .wav
* Chrome seems to support .aac but it isn't included in the list of officially supported file extensions.
I suggest using both .ogg and .mp3 or .ogg and .aac to cover all bases.
