I'd like to know if there is any cross browser light-weight invisible sound players that are controlled by JavaScript, but not using any frameworks like jQuery.
I'm not looking to use HTML5 at all. So maybe a solution that uses Flash.
Something that is not more than load() and play().
I believe SoundManager 2 may fit your needs:
http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/
If you don't care about old browser, i'd suggest looking at what you can do with the audio tag of HTML5.
For example to play see: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#playing-the-media-resource
The 1Pixelout Player for Wordpress could by used (just use the SWF) and then hidden with CSS

-edit
DewPlayer has also JavaScript Controls (scroll down to the bottom)

SoundJS
http://www.createjs.com/#!/SoundJS
A Javascript library that provides a simple API, and powerful features to make working with audio a breeze.
Nice looking examples

I would like to know if it is possible to visualise audio from soundcloud's custom player:
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/custom-player#
At the moment I could only think about using videos, but I would like to know if it is possible to do with javascript or jQuery, maybe there are some cool libraries out there?
EDIT:
So far this is the only exact thing I found that does exactly what I want, but I am having trouble in understanding how it works, I was trying to play around with source code but had no luck ;/ and I don't wan't to copy it exactly. Maybe you could explain principle behind it and suggest how to change it's appearance?

i want to learn about the page flip effect like this one
http://www.20thingsilearned.com/en-US
Is there any solution already developed in jQuery for this or are there any tutorials regarding this effect? The main thing that I want is that the page flip effect should be compatible with older browsers also.
Check out turn.js
http://www.turnjs.com/

It works fine for me.
If you want page turning in pre-HTML5 browsers, you will need to use Flash. Reason being that page turning requires taking an image and gradually distorting it which is simply not possible in pre-HTML5 javascript. Here's an example of a Flash product which can do this.

WowBook is also a nice plugin, works on IE7 and Android 2.2.

I'm looking for a javascript framework to help me with mobile website front-end programming.
The perfect solution would be a js file that, when included in my project, will give me basic mobile helper functions/event handling such as drag and drop, tap-hold, swipe WITHOUT forcing me to create a mobile specific version of my existing website.
I looked at jQuery Mobile and jQtouch but both forces me to create a mobile specific version of my website.
Is there any framework that could help me?
I think a better way to say it might be: "Is there a lightweight framework for mobile apps that will also leave my existing site mostly alone." Does that state it well, or, did I misunderstand?
You should be able to get pretty far with jQuery and jQuery UI.
I would also recommend something like Knockout.js to handle data binding.
Of course, you could always pull out the functions you want from jQuery/JQM. As I understand it, JQM is fairly separable, the widgets, that is.
Zepto is a jQuery compatible Micro-Framework for mobile devices that should fit your needs
You should check out Sencha to the list of frameworks you're considering. I've been playing around wit
I have been given assignment for creating an audio player using js without using any plugin. I am totally blank regarding this can anyone help please. I would prefer to create in firefox...I am not allowed to use HTML5
JavaScript cannot play audio. You need HTML5 or, usually, Flash.
You will have to use HTML5 audio. Here are some links:

I am creating a little JavaScript music player that sits on the btottom of the page, a lot like streampad. But streampad uses a flash progress bar for the song and JavaScript for everything else and I am having a hard time finding anyone who does this with JavaScript alone. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how this can be done (preferably without using HTML5)?
There's no way to do this with just Javascript, without going into html5 (the audio tag).
SoundManager 2 has a hidden flash component, and the UI is completely in JS. It's up to you to implement a seekbar or whatever you want, but there's a whole lot of example code. SM2 seems pretty popular, and is used by a number of big sites (Soundcloud, Last.fm, Muxtape).
i think you may found usefull look at theese:
Monitoring Loading Progress of SWFs
http://code.google.com/p/swfsound/
SWFSound is based on SWFObject and
allows cross-plattform, cross-browser
sound support for HTML/JavaScript
using Flash Player 8 and higher.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
SWFObject is an easy-to-use and
standards-friendly method to embed
Flash content, which utilizes one
small JavaScript file
just some example
http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/
http://www.bauer.uh.edu/parks/video3.htm
You can't do that without HTML 5 or Flash.
You could however create an hidden flash player and control it via javascript using External Interfaces.
Maybe you can use a library that implements a progress bar using html5 and javascript, see RGraph: http://www.rgraph.net/examples/progress.html
