This isn't a super urgent thing, but as someone who likes to note things down audibly, it would be nice to be able to embed audio files like you can with images. This is something I used to do back when I used Obsidian (which I stopped using for several unrelated reasons).
If it's not easily doable, that's fine, just thought I'd make the suggestion since i didn't see anyone else doing so and it would be convenient. Thanks!
Hello!
Markdown doesn’t have any standardized syntax for audio or video embedding (unlike images) unfortunately.
You could use an HTML element like:
<audio controls="controls">
<source type="audio/wav" src="/path/to/audio.wav"></source>
</audio>
And see it in the preview, but that it would depend on your needs
I actually did attempt to do it in HTML, and while an audio player did show up, the audio file didn't load and it wouldn't play. I don't think it's due to an invalid source path or anything. The MD file is in the same directory as an audio folder, and the file I'm trying to access is in said audio folder. The path I'm giving is "/audio/audiotest.wav". I've also tried it in OGG.
Could you confirm that using HTML for audio players works for you?
I'm a little unsure what you mean by absolute path. I expected that you meant something like:
<audio controls>
<source type="audio/ogg" src="file:///C:/Users/MyName/Music/unfinished.ogg" />
</audio>
but after trying that out as well as a few other things the audio player still just showed up as unplayable
Did you mean to format it some other way?
