I have been trying to make the <audio> tags work with Shoutcast broadcasts in IE11 and have been unsuccessful after trying numerous things I have found on the web. It works fine with Chrome, FireFox, and in various Android browsers, but consistently gives "Invalid Source" errors on IE. The server is telling that the MIME type is audio/mpeg and all seems to be fine on their end - although I don't control the server so can't look at their config ... I have no reason to doubt it though as this has been working for other browsers find as I mentioned.
I have tried several variations of coding, of which I am putting up three (out of many) all of these work everywhere except IE.

What am I missing? I really would like this to work, I've been working on it for a couple of days now, and it's driving me nuts. Thanks!!
