It only has a Play/Pause button and shows the waveform of the audio, and during playing it shows a progress bar, using the WaveSurfer library. ### Features: * Shows the audio waveform, representating the sound levels of the audio file. * Progress bar can be dragged to any position. * Customizable colors for the player background, button and waveform (played/unplayed). * Multiple players can be present on a single post/page. * When starting a player, any other players that are already playing on the same page will pause (avoiding multiple players running at the same time). ### Third-Party Libraries This plugin includes WaveSurfer.js (https://wavesurfer.xyz/) v7.12.6, used for audio waveform rendering. * License: BSD 3-Clause * Copyright: © 2012–2024 katspaugh and contributors * Source: https://github.com/katspaugh/wavesurfer.js ## Screenshots * [[ * Players in the editor * [[ * Players on the front end ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Audio Wave ## Installation #### Installation from within WordPress 1.

This plugin adds a new block called Audio Wave, that is a very basic audio player. The player adds a waveform that is a true representation of the audio levels in the audio file, meaning that it will show a timeline of the song/sound, indicating where the quiet parts and louder parts are. The listener can play and pause, and click anywhere on the waveform to jump to that point. ### The player doesn’t offer the listener the option to DOWNLOAD the file? Or change the volume? No, the purpose of this player is to keep things very simple: just a button and a waveform. If you want the options in your player to download audio or change the volume, use the default Audio player instead. ### I need more help please!
