I am trying to create an infinite loop - I have a list of audio file links that I want to play on a loop when I tap the play button. Any way to create this?

Seems like this is possible, but you will need to create a template column that builds the audio html tag, with the file name from the row, and then insert it through a rich text component instead of an audio component. The trick is to add the ‘loop’ attribute. I played with it a little bit but the width of the audio player was shorter than normal and left aligned. You could wrap it with ‘center’ tags so it looks a little better.

```auto
<audio controls src="file.mp3" loop></audio>

```

For everybody else, I did find out that there are also options for autoplay with an ‘autoplay’ attribute and for hiding the download menu option with a ‘controlslist=“nodownload”’, but I couldn’t find a way to get those attributes to work within an app. Only the loop attribute seemed to work.

Hi Jeff. Your explanation is intriguing. Do you offer consulting services to sell an example to me?
