Override these CSS variables to customize the look and feel:

:root {

  --player-font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif;
  --player-font-size: 0.9rem;
  --player-font-size-small: 0.7rem;
  --player-font-weight: 300;
  --player-font-weight-bold: 600;
  --player-text-color: #ffffff;
  --player-icon-color: var(--player-text-color);
  --player-link-color: var(--player-text-color);
  --player-progress-color: #41b883;
  --player-buffered-color: #41b883;
  --player-seeker-color: #ffffff;
  --player-input-range-color: var(--player-text-color);
}

Browser Support

The audio element is supported by all modern browsers. We recommend using MP3 audio files since that format is also supported by all modern browsers.

Accessibility

Vue Sound is 100% keyboard accessible. The enter/space keys toggle play/pause, the up/down arrows control the volume, and the right/left arrows skip ahead/back. Other audio player controls such as mute and download can be tabbed to and controlled by the keyboard.
