Setting up a stand-alone player:
For a simple "stand-alone" player insert a shortcode like this:
[aplayer url="http://somesite.com/dope-beat.wav"]You can also supply optional metadata to the shortcode to display the track title, artist and album:
[aplayer url="http://somesite.com/dope-beat.wav" title='Dope Beat' artist='Mathieu Dombrock' album="Imaginary Machines EP"] Setting up a playlist:
Initialize a new playlist with:
[aplayer-playlist playlist_id="test-playlist"]Here the playlist_id value can be anything you want but make sure it's UNIQUE.
Add a new track to the playlist with:
[aplayer-playlist-item playlist_id="test-playlist" url="http://somesite.com/dope-beat.wav" title='Dope Beat' artist='Mathieu Dombrock' album="Imaginary Machines EP"]The playlist_id value here should match the ID you set when you initialized the playlist.
Aside from the playlist_id value, the rest of the parameters match the meta data supplied for the stand-alone player
The parameters aside from the playlist_id value, are optional here as well but highly suggested!
The playlist tracks will show up in the order they are inserted into the page, with the first track loading by default.
