It lets you create albums, standalone tracks and playlists from MP3 files, choose from six visual player styles (Full, Compact, Wide, Vertical, Horizontal and Mini) and embed them on any page with a shortcode. #### Features * Custom content types: Album, Track and Playlist * MP3 importer that reads ID3 metadata (title, artist, album, year, cover art) and automatically groups tracks by album * Import option that reuses audio files already in the WordPress media library * Own public REST API to consume player data from any website * Six player styles: Full, Compact, Wide (minimalist) and Vertical, Horizontal, Mini (physical hardware look) * Per-player customization of theme (light/dark/auto), accent color, background( solid/gradient/transparent) and corner radius * Single-playback coordinator: only one player plays at a time on the same page * Optional per-track download button #### External services This plugin may load the **JetBrains Mono** typeface from Google Fonts (`fonts.googleapis. com`) when a “Modern Player” style (Vertical, Horizontal or Mini) is used on a page. This request is only made on the front-end pages where such a player is displayed, and in the design-options preview inside the admin metabox. No personal data is sent beyond what any browser normally sends to a font CDN (IP address, user agent). * Service: Google Fonts * Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy * Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq ## Installation 1.
