Can I autoplay audio on mobile ios / android ?

Audio cannot autoplay without user interaction on any mobile android or ios

Do I have to create a gallery for every song if I’m trying to load individual songs to individual blog posts? Seems like I’m missing the shortcode for the single player vs. the play list gallery.

You just have to press this button above every post / page to add a single mp3 –

If you want a gallery – you can press the other button. And galleries are configured inside the ZoomSounds wp menu.

s there anyway to disable autoplay for a playlist? This is the shortcode I am using: .

yes, in ZoomSounds admin, create a new slider named playlist_gallery

Then in that, set autoplay to OFF

Can there be multiple instances of this player per page

Yes, there can be unlimited instances on each page / post.

I am looking for an audio player for my WP site that will play songs continuos / without interruption or starting the song over when a visitor browses different pages,

For this, you need a ajax enable theme. Or a plugin that enables continuos navigating between pages without browser refresh ( like – https://codecanyon.net/item/ajaxer-ajaxify-your-wordpress-site-and-comments/15813677?ref=ZoomIt )

does this allow continuos playback?

Only if your theme supports that ( it does not depend on zoomsounds )

If you have a theme like this -> https://themeforest.net/item/qu-the-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/17759297

( no page refresh between page change )

For music to continue playing while changing page

We also made a free plugin for any theme

– http://preview.codecanyon.net/item/ajaxer-ajaxify-your-wordpress-site-and-comments/full_screen_preview/15813677?ref=ZoomIt

for this purpose

is this plug in programmed to stop playing when another player starts playing on the same page

Sure, when another ZoomSounds player is clicked, the current playing one will be stopped.

Can you use this audio player with short codes? Does it have a shortcode function?

A simple shortcode is required for the plugin to work – [zoomsounds] – and you do not even have to remember that because there are shortcode generators for both audio file and audio gallery

How can I get the social networks icons centered in lightbox ?

Hi, Can i use it as standalone script without wordpress?

This is stand alone html5 version – http://codecanyon.net/item/zoomsounds-neat-html5-audio-player/4525354

How to place additional links to track amazon / itunes ?

You can place them in the extra html field of the item :

This is the code:

<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/justin-bieber/id320569549" class="btn-zoomsounds btn-zoomsounds-download"><span class="the-icon"><i class="fa fa-apple" /></span><span class="the-label">iTunes</span></a>

how to change colors of the skin-default menu

Go to zoomsoudns > settings > appearence and in extra css enter –

body .zoomsounds-nav.skin-default .menu-item{background-color: #fff;
color: #444;
}
body .zoomsounds-nav.skin-default .menu-item:nth-child(odd){
background-color: #efefef;
}

any color is custom

How to enable zoomsounds player in woocommerce shop

The idea is to go to ZoomSounds > Settings > WooCommerce and enable Configuration for Loop Products to a player configuration you need.

Then ZoomSounds it will appear in any shop page / product cateegory

PS: The Products need the mp3 track uploaded in the ZoomSounds tab in any WooCommerce product

Default is that only one zoomsounds player on the page plays. The other ones pause.

Also can it play MP3’s self-hosted?

Sure, it’s the main source. It can also play shoutcast radio…

And another idea would be a buy link for the EP! Could it be possible?

You can insert that in the artist or song name spaces

My mp3s show infinity for length

You might need to reencode your mp3. Test the mp3 directly on th browser ( just input the link to the mp3 in the browser ) – if the browser does not have support for it then ZoomSounds cannot play it of course

I’m looking for an mp3 player plugin that allows download of the mp3s. The mp3 artwork (image) provides the title and then the play and download buttons overlay it. On the archive page we have the same but nicely arranged in grid layout.

Generally, yes

But

What do you mean by archive ?

If this is a custom page you set – then zoomsounds has shortcodes for this

If this is theme archive page, then your theme must have support for this grid
