MP3 Play and Pause

Hello all,

Im adding multiple mp3 files to a dingle document for digital publishing. Currently, when I export them and upload them to Digital Publishing Soluion, there is no way to play any of the mp3s by tepping on them.

So far, I understand I can create a bunch of buttons for play pause, but that would take forever and Im wondering if there is an easier way to play and pause mp3 files in a way similar to the way videos are played and paused.

Thanks!

OK, it sounds to me like you're doing the right things. And then I tried to replicate what you describe.

I hit the same problem. Audio isn't working the way it has in the past -- I suspect we have a bug of some kind.

I added an mp3, tried simple tap to play (should work this way) -- didn't work.

Added auto play, and got some weird interaction when I swiped to the next article, I think.

Added a button to play the audio, no luck, until I started swiping.

I'll let the PMs know.

Did you place the MP3 file into the InDesign document? If so, then you shouldn't have to take any other action. The exported article file should allow users to tap the icon to play the sound clip. You can create additional Play, Pause, and Stop buttons, but it isn't necessary. See this article for details: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Audio overlays
