It uses html5 native audio wherever supported, and falls back on an invisible flash player anywhere else. It supports .mp3 playlists of up to 50 tracks, and can be styled using standard CSS. It has been tested with: * Mobile Safari (iOS 3+) * Android (2.2+, w/Flash) * Safari (4+) * Chrome (7+) * Firefox (3+, w/ Flash) * Opera (10+, w/ Flash) * IE (6, 7, 8, w/ Flash) New tracks can be uploaded via your WordPress Media library, and then added via the Widget Admin page. The HTML is responsive, and will resize to fit any wordpress theme. > If you like this plugin, please rate it (on the right side of this page).
