Thanks a lot for providing those examples, Martin. Will have a look at them (and probably install the hAudio Operator script).

Not to forget my latest blog post: http://www.numblog.de/archives/529-Aaron-Jerome-Time-To-Rearrange.html

Since I’m running a music blog, I plan to use hAudio more often. But it’s a lot of work to manually markup parts of the entry body. Currently I’m thinking about a hAudio creator that generates something like an info box that I can include in my posts. But I think hAudio is only really useful if you fetch existing data from a DB; or from services like MusicBrainz, discogs.com, or last.fm which gives me some more ideas … ;O) (of course, podcasts are a different use case)

I have to confess: I haven’t installed the hAudio Operator script yet, simply because I don’t know any in the wild examples of hAudio.

@Pfefferle: Ok, nevermind, it works now. Seems I already installed the versions offered at http://wiki.digitalbazaar.com/en/Firefox_Operator_Extensions some weeks ago when I couldn’t wait any longer ;O) Now I reinstalled the “official” Operator plugin 0.8, and everything works like a charm!

@Pfefferle: Hi, I just looked up what version of Operator I’m using: 0.9b. Maybe this is too new/beta? As for hAudio, I’m using the script Carsten linked to. I created my own hAudio demo page, but maybe I got sth. wrong. Can you please point me to a page where hAudio is recognized by your setup?

For me it works perfect. I use the newest version of operator (without tweaks) and the ESW W3 Wiki, the hAudio script you get on Kaply’s site is too old.

Does the Operator script work for you on a page like, say, grabb.it? Some weeks ago I had to go to great lengths to make it work, I even had to install a specially patched version of Operator in the process. I do not want to fiddle with patched extensions here, so … the userscript is not working Any hints?
