(For me this is a D7 version request, but the option is not there to post against yet.)

Any suggestions for using this field where Java is not available? The main one currently being the iPhone.

While recording directly might be impossible, perhaps there is a way to switch to a non java 'player' when viewing a node under certain circumstances?

I don't understand it enough to know if this needs to be implemented at the module level, or if fields / filefield / cck give you this automatically?

Hello Dru-p,

It is with questions like yours in mind that we are releasing the Phone Recorder Field module. Similar to the Audio Recorder Field, Audio Recorder field works as an extension to Audio field. However, rather than presenting the user with a web-based Java- or Flash-based gadget, the new module actually calls a phone number provided by the user, records the entry, and uploads the result into the selected the Audio field. Would that work for you?

Thanks Leo.

I can see possible future applications for the phone recorder field, but for my current requirement, playback is more important than recording on the iPhone.

Some way of playing back through a different 'player' than the nanogong java applet when on a non-java device is what I'm really looking for.

I have looked at mobile tools, context and theme switching modules, but don't know how to change the widget based on the mobile context.

Just to confirm, I'm assuming that Flash players won't work for you, either. Is that correct?

Yes, you are correct. Flash does not work.

I don't fully understand, but I think the options are embedding Quicktime or just a file link that will launch the (Quicktime?) audio player on the iPhone.

Hi Dru-p,

The current version of audio field already allows users with the right permission to download/open audio files locally in their computers. Would that solve your problem?

Hi Leo.

Oh, OK, I have only used the demo site and not had a D6 site to try the module out on. That will probably work if I can switch between the player and the download link based on device capability. I want to display one or the other, not both. Might be able to do this with panels and some PHP.

I think it's the kind of thing that I need to try out, so since I'm working purely with D7, I'll wait for a release and see how that works in the prototype. I have seen commits going in for the D7 version. It's good to see progress. I'm looking forward to trying it.

Thanks.

Hi
Just checking on the status of this request. Does this currently work on iphon/ipad devices? If not, are there other alternatives to accomplish this on ios devices?

Also changing this to D7 as original poster had intended.

Thank you

New 7.x.-1.0-beta3 has integrated Soundcloud recorder and Wav player both in Flash as alternative to Java. Additionally there is java fallback option now, where nanogong will automatically detect if client has the java and if it doesn't it will display normal file upload field.

The other question about Iphone/ipad they don't support Flash or Java, there's not much we're able to do. An alternative would be to use the SoundCloud app and then indirectly refer to the recorded file by using the Sound Cloud tools module...
