I'd like to add a simple mp3 player interface to a web page. It would play an mp3 file located at the web site. The controls I want are the basic ones we usually see, such as play, pause, stop. From the little searching I did, it seems HTML 5 supports this. But I could not find a tutorial. Can someone help me.
There isn't a tutorial because all you really do is use the new <audio> tag with a set source. To my knowledge it can only play one file per an audio tag so it won't allow more than one file in the same player.

To be backwards compatible for older browsers or play more than 1 song with the same player you'll be better of with flash.
If you want a true playlist player etc, there are better things you can do then HTML 5.
