Introduction

This plugin is made to simplefy the process of inserting mp3 files inside a Wordpress post or page. The plugin is build around Jeroen Wijerings excellent Flash Single MP3 Player and in order to use this plugin you have to download his player here.

Installation?

Installation is easy and straightforward. First of all download Jeroen Wijerings Flash Single MP3 Player here. Unzip the zipfile and upload the singlemp3player.swf to an accessible directory on your server.

Next download the plugin source here and rename the file from wp-singlemp3.php.txt to wp-singlemp3.php. Upload this file to your Wordpress plugins directory.

Login to your Wordpress installation and activate the WP-SingleMP3 in the plugins menu. You’re almost done!

To make the plugin work it must know where to find the singlemp3player.swf file. To do this you have to go to the options menu en choose the WP-SingleMP3 submenu. Here you can change the required and optional settings for this plugin.

That’s it your finished!

Use of the plugin

The plugin replaces a special and simple <smp3> tag with all the necessary (XHTML valid) flash code. This <smp3> has eight attributes.

file
This is the only compulsary attribute. It value is the URL to your MP3 file.
width
Optional attribute to set the width of the player. If this value is not set it will use the default value as specified in the options menu.
songvolume
This value can be set from 0 to 100 and it represents the volume for playing the song.
backcolor
You can set the background color of the player by giving the hexadecimal value of the desired color (E.g.: 00ff00 for green)
frontcolor
Change the colors of the buttons and progressbar with this value. Use hexadecimal value like backcolor.
autostart
With this attribute you can determine wether the movie starts playing automatically or not. Set to either false or true.
showdownload
With this attribute you can determine wether the player shows a download button which your visitors can use to download the MP3 file. Set to either false or true.
repeatplay
Pretty easy, set tofalse and the MP3 will be repeated forever or set to true to play it just once.

Example codes:

<smp3 file="http://promo.mudhut.co.uk/NinjaTune/getamoveon.mp3" width="404" songvolume="90" backcolor="ccff00" frontcolor="ff0066" autostart="false" showdownload="true" repeatplay="false" />

The song I link to is from Mr Scruff and can be downloaded via CommonTunes. More info on the song can be found here.

You can also use the SMP3 quicktag to assist you with inserting the right code.
