Total of 316 K minified JS & CSS. Kinda heavy.

Isn’t an average mp3 for a 3min song close to 3MB? It seems to me that this type of tool already assumes you have some bandwidth available

[pier25]

What if the user is on mobile and doesn't intend to play the audio?

And that is on top of the rest of the page.

Am I missing something or are you joking? Its an audio player

[pier25]

So? Do you always use all audio players on all websites you visit?

[pier25]

Yeah it's a lot...

It's true, even without the wave visualizer, it's 244Kb minified for an audio player. Apparently some people don't agree, but I think it's too much.
