Hey friends, today in this blog you’ll learn how to Create a Custom Music Player in JavaScript. We’ll use HTML CSS & Pure JavaScript to create this awesome music player. Earlier I have also shared a JavaScript Project which is about How to Check Network Status using JavaScript and now it’s time to create a beautiful music player in JavaScript.
This project [Music Player in JavaScript] has several features like you can loop, repeat or shuffle a song, play/pause a song or play the next or previous song. You can view your songs list and also know which song is currently playing and you can also select the song from the list to play. I have also created a video of this music player, you can watch a demo or full coding video.
Video Tutorial of Music Player in JavaScript
In the video, you have seen the beautiful music player and its several features as well as how I created it using only HTML CSS & JavaScript. I believe you love this music player and also understood some basic codes of this project. If you’re too beginner and you don’t have basic knowledge of JavaScript then definitely you won’t understand the codes of this project.
But if you know basic JavaScript then I have tried to explain each JavaScript line with written comments and please watch the video tutorial to understand easily and deeply. You may have a query on how to add more music to this player right? Well, you don’t need to do more things, just open the music-list.js and duplicate the array items and pass the music details there. I have also written comments in that file about this so don’t worry after downloading the source files of this music player you can easily do this.

Custom Music Player in JavaScript [Source Codes]
To create this project [Custom Music Player in JavaScript]. First, you need to create four files, HTML File, CSS File, and JavaScript File. After creating these files just paste the following codes into your files. You can also download the source code files of the music player from the given download button.
First, create an HTML file with the name of index.html and paste the given codes in your HTML file. Remember, you’ve to create a file with .html extension and the images that are used on this music player won’t appear. You’ve to download files from the given download button to use images also.

Third, create a JavaScript file with the name of music-list.js and paste the given codes in your JavaScript file. Remember, you’ve to create a file with .js extension. In this JavaScript file, we store all music details using the array.
// To add more song, just copy the following code and paste inside the array
// {
// name: "Here is the music name",
// artist: "Here is the artist name",
// img: "image name here - remember img must be in .jpg formate and it's inside the images folder of this project folder",
// src: "music name here - remember img must be in .mp3 formate and it's inside the songs folder of this project folder"
// }
//paste it inside the array as more as you want music then you don't need to do any other thing
let allMusic = [
{
name: "Harley Bird - Home",
artist: "Jordan Schor",
img: "music-1",
src: "music-1"
},
{
name: "Ikson Anywhere – Ikson",
artist: "Audio Library",
img: "music-2",
src: "music-2"
},
{
name: "Beauz & Jvna - Crazy",
artist: "Beauz & Jvna",
img: "music-3",
src: "music-3"
},
{
name: "Hardwind - Want Me",
artist: "Mike Archangelo",
img: "music-4",
src: "music-4"
},
{
name: "Jim - Sun Goes Down",
artist: "Jim Yosef x Roy",
img: "music-5",
src: "music-5"
},
{
name: "Lost Sky - Vision NCS",
artist: "NCS Release",
img: "music-6",
src: "music-6"
},
// like this paste it and remember to give comma after ending of this bracket }
// {
// name: "Here is the music name",
// artist: "Here is the artist name",
// img: "image name here - remember img must be in .jpg formate and it's inside the images folder of this project folder",
// src: "music name here - remember img must be in .mp3 formate and it's inside the songs folder of this project folder"
// }

That’s all, now you’ve successfully created a Custom Music Player in JavaScript. If your code doesn’t work or you’ve faced any error/problem, please download the source code files from the given download button. It’s free and a .zip file will be downloaded then you’ve to extract it.
