• Proton Player is an HTML5-based streaming music player optimized for compatibility across many devices and browsers.
• The player is "headless", meaning that it doesn't come packaged with any visual components. It is meant to serve as a toolkit for building your own music player, offering features such as seeking, pausing, and preloading upcoming audio files.
• We use it to power our own React-based music player over on Proton Radio, so its stability and ongoing development is backed by a paid development team and our many happy customers. :)

While the Web Audio and Mediasource APIs are both incredibly powerful tools for manipulating audio within a web browser, their specs have both grown far more quickly than browser maintainers can implement them. At the same time, device- and browser-specific implementation details and philosophical differences with respect to things such as autoplay make it impossible to "write once, run anywhere" when working with audio on the web. We needed a reliable way to support smooth MP3 streams across all modern devices and browsers without pulling our hair out.
