How to know the existing audio MIME types and their codecs for HTML5 Audio API

Joan_A_ · ‎10-11-2015

Hello,

I have been looking for a list of all audio MIME types and all their possible codecs but I could not find one.

I would need to have a complete list (or at least a big one) to test canPlayType method of the Audio API (HTML5) for a hobby project I am developing.

Is there any way to get a list of the supported audio types and their codecs from a browser? So I could manually create a big list after trying on different browsers.

If there is no method to get a list from a browser, is there any list already created on the Internet?

This is what I have found so far:

   audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"
   audio/ogg; codecs="vorbis"
   audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.5"
   audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.2"
   audio/webm; codecs="vorbis"
   audio/wav; codecs="1"
   audio/ogg; codecs="speex"
   audio/ogg; codecs="flac"
   audio/3gpp; codecs="samr"

Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers,
Joan
