About Adrienjoly Playemjs

From the project's README at github.com/adrienjoly/playemjs. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.

PlayemJS is a front-end JavaScript component that manages a audio/video track queue and plays those tracks sequentially.

It can currently play tracks from the following streaming platforms: Youtube Soundcloud Deezer Bandcamp Vimeo Dailymotion Jamendo ... and MP3 files hosted online

Depending on the platform of each track, PlayemJS dynamically embeds the media in a HTML element, or through the Soundmanager2 audio player.

PlayemJS powers the music curation service Openwhyd.org (formerly whyd.com). That's the best demonstration of its capabilities.
