[Plugin: Audio To Player] Shortcode [audio:]

  • Hi,

    I like the style of this player and that it’s responsive, but I can’t use it, because historically I use short code [audio: url.mp3] to display audio player.

    I understand that the purpose of this plugin is to convert .mp3 links to player, but can I (or you) somehow modify it so it can use shortcodes and not convert the .mp3 links?

    I need to have .mp3 links to be not converted because I want to give my users an option to download my podcast manually.

    Maybe you will release a new plugin with the same style but that works with shortcodes and outside the loop? It’s very nice and I can’t find another audio plugin with responsive player.

    Thanks!

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the feedback, will keep an eye for this type of feature.

    Kind Regards!

    With the way things are quickly moving in an HTML5/responsive direction, I was ecstatic to find this audio player plugin for WordPress. I’ve tried numerous others and they all share that one major flaw—the width can only be set in pixels. I downloaded and activated it then came back here to find out the shortcode but ran into this bad news.

    After fiddling around with it to see if I can make it work I found the following limitations to be deal breakers:

    • The call for the player using an a href tag instead of a [audio: link.mp3] insert. Most other players out there use this shortcode and in my opinion, it is standard.
    • The player not having a bar alerting the user how much of the file has been loaded.
    • The player not having the total and amount played times listed in text.

    Hopefully you find these comments useful and are able to implement them into future versions. You definitely have the right idea and are ahead of the soon-to-be-standard curve, it just needs some tweaking. I offer you to a look at these other plugins to really capitalize on other players who are headed in the right direction as well.
