How can I play .3gp audio file in HTML

Question

I am using simple HTML5 audio tag. For .mp3 file it is working fine.
But I want to play .3gp file.

<audio controls>
<source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

Solution 1

You have to use video tag for video, because 3gp is a video extension.

<source
  src="video.3gp"
  type='video/3gpp; codecs="mp4v.20.8, samr"'>
</source>

to learn more you can read this page on Mozilla.

Solution 2

Browsers support only limited audio formats. see

3GP files are not playable in all browsers. Convert 3GP files to MP3 files, for example using Audacity audio editor.

Not working ..... <source src='filename.3gp' type='audio/wav'></source> <source src='filename.3gp' type='audio/mpeg'></source> <source src='filename.3gp' type='video/3gpp; codecs='mp4v.20.8, samr''></source>

<source> tags do not have a closing tag. Also the quotes are mangled on the type and codecs attributes' values.

@zer00ne I think Mozilla is a good Source, I did not write this from myself, Take a look at Mozilla website in link in my answer!

@Kermani my bad, sorry. I looked at that mangled part of the type/codec and it's correct (never needed to use either one). As for the closing </source> tag, where it's under Error Handling for Mozilla, yet if you go to the <source> page, it says "Tag omission ... It must have start tag, but must not have an end tag."
