Overview

About this plugin

Spindle MP3 Player is an audio player for WordPress built as a Web Component with Shadow DOM. 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
