I came back again with a very interesting thing this time.
These day I worked a lot with the attachments and realized that if we have any audio/video attachments in org then to see them first we need to download it on local machine and only then we can play with it.
I wanted to build a script which can play attachment in the salesforce itself without asking for download.
Now the question is how this is useful :
I had a voice call with the customer and attached this call with the customer record. Now after some days I want to confirm a point was discussed in the call. So what I need to do :
So here you can see that, there will be 6 step to listen a audio file, while we just wanted to hear the discussion again. These step will be always be repeated whenever we want to listen this conversation.
So if there could be a utility which could play the files in org itself without asking for downloading, that would be better. That's whay I started work on this idea and now here I am.
I have created a visualforce page and embedded this with some JS files, which allow to play the audio files on the same screen. This shows a player only with the audio file in the same row. Check it here:
http://enable-portal-developer-edition.na8.force.com/apex/PlayMP3?id=00QC000001Oqr4J
This page can be added as inline Visualforce page with any object which supports attachments.Like :
I have created a Un-managed package for this. So you can modify this as per your requirement.
Here is the URL:

Please comment if any modification can be done to make it better.

- Go to the customer record.
- Click on the attachment.
- Download the attachment.
- Save on local disk.
- Play audio.
- Delete file once audio done to escape from the unnecessary storage on machine.
