I just checked and your audio file plays just fine on my end. I listened to the first 20 seconds. I checked in IE8 on Vista.

Hi Ken,

I am using the audio player that you are using also, I have copied everything in installing it and also the settings. I know I have used the right code but I it's always buffering not even playing. This is the URL where I have used the audio player.

I'm having trouble uploading the player with a file on a post. I use the flash uploader on WP and all the post shows is the name of the file without the extension. Like this: Here for your amusement is a send up of all those initially pleasing, now irritating parody songs. Enjoy... but not too many times. flames_songs2 flames_songs3 Not sure how to fix it.

im having the same problem the first time.
try uploading it in the right folder. pay attention to the zip file.
after re uploading it, re set the settings and it works fine.

By: ndree

ndree — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 21:45:14 +0000

im using it. after several times trying, it finally worked out.

Audio files directory: /public_html/audio (my root directory is: public_html)
Replace [audio] syntax: checked
Enclosure integration: not checked
Replace all links to mp3 files: not checked
Pre-appended audio clip URL: blank
Post-appended audio clip URL: blank

Don't forget the brackets in the audio syntax:

[audio:http://site.web.id/audio/songname.mp3
yes it finally works when using the full address

yes and if you pay attention to the steps given, and also of course uploading it the right way. the folder and the php file on the plugin directory at your host.
first, i've uploaded everything, the folder and the php file inside a folder.
it still works on the control panel settings, it shows but nothing works.

i re uploaded the file in the right directory. and now it is working.
Thanks.

Ken, hi,

I think I'll give up … am not a Flash expert :-( :-) and hope that what I wanted will be added to one of the next updates of the plugin.

Many thanks!

TW, that's the only area in the code I see where you can change the width. It looks like the plugin actually passes parameters to the Flash player (player.swf in the audio-player sub-directory), but the file just displays garbage in my text editor. If you can find a way to edit that swf file, you might be able to get it to do what you want.

Dear Ken,

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe it's better to explain what I wanted to do – I want to get rid of the long bar so that it will fit inside text. I want only the icon to show (at all times, when it's active and when it's inactive, and for than I am willing to make the file name and counter invisible).

When I tried to reduce the width, the icon itself becomes smaller and it's placed higher in the line, like superscript (in short, it doesn't look good).

Is there another way to achieve what I want? I am aware that it might be impossible…

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:32:46 +0000

TW, you can change the width in a file called "audio-player.php" (in the plugin directory). The width setting is on line #300.

By: TW

TW — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:09:06 +0000

Dear Ken,

I'd like to change the width of the player bar (so that it remains fixed, say, at 100 px at all times)

For that I need to change $player_width, but I can't find the file where it's located… could you help me please?

Thanx, TW

You should be able to do it in the admin area of WordPress:

Click "Settings"
Click "Audio player"
Scroll down to "Colour scheme"

You can customize your colors there.

I'm using WP 2.6.2 and the audio player still works.

By: Navjosh

Navjosh — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:02:09 +0000

Does the audio player work properly with wordpress 2.6.5? coz the 1Pixelout site says that it is compatible upto 2.3

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:54:17 +0000

It doesn't play on mine either. My guess is that's not the actual location of the mp3 file. esnips probably remaps that address to another location to prevent people from downloading the mp3 directly.

Thanks Ken. Here is the url

Let me know the url for your file and I'll see if I can play it on my end.

Hi Ken,
I am following the directions carefully but my player won't work. All it says is 'buffering' and that's it. :(

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:58:20 +0000

That has nothing to do with the plugin setting. You should try re-ripping the song from a different mp3 ripper.

By: Bard

Bard — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:00:23 +0000

Hi, I got the player working but don't know how to get song and artist information to show in the player like in the example shown on the 1 pixel out site . Can you hepl me with this? Bard’s last blog post..

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:17:40 +0000

It's not the audio player plugin. It has something to do with the mp3 file when it was ripped. Try re-ripping with a different mp3 ripper.

Ken, how do you do the change of the title of the track?, because i only get "Track 1" in the players.

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 05:32:21 +0000

I'll let you know if I figure out a way. The coolplayer plugin works in the comments.

By: luca

luca — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 12:01:06 +0000

Please, is there a way to get the plugin working also in comments, not only in new post or pages?

By: Ken Cheung

Ken Cheung — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:08:37 +0000

I use FeedBurner for my newsletter, but I have not posted anything in awhile.

Not sure what is causing your Audio plugin problem. Remember the file name for the audio file is case sensitive.

By: Masoud

Masoud — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:26:31 +0000

I have the same problem, everything is set ok but nothing happens exactly like if I never put the audio code in the post.
and something lse, what do u use to enable ur newletter?

Looks like you finally got it to work.

the plugin directory (not in the audio player folder)

By: Auria

Auria — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:21:58 +0000

"you need to ftp "audio-player.php" to your plugin directory."

should we place the file within the plugin directory? or in the audio player folder?

Jonathan, I have not had that problem. Sounds like a conflict with another plugin. Looks like you already posted this question on the plugin site. Hopefully, someone there has the answer.

By: Jonathan

Jonathan — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:43:23 +0000

Ken, hopefully you can answer this question. My site is running WP1.5. I installed the plugin per instructions. Activated it. But when I go to the Options panel and click on Audio Player tab, the page doesn't show anything. And if my feedburner plugin is active, the page defaults to the feedburner plugin content. The player works fine on the page (all set to default), but I can't set any options. Please advise.

No, you don't need flash player on your server. The plugin inserts a flash player on the page to play the mp3. Have you tried looking through the comments on this page:

By: Jason

Jason — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 09:13:25 +0000

ok this may be a silly question…do I need to have some sort of flash player installed on my server for this to work?

By: Ken

Ken — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 02:18:52 +0000

Try this to see if it will play my mp3:

[audio:http://izachy.com/audio/reasonforliving.mp3

If that does not work, send me the url for your mp3 and I'll see if I can play it on my end.

By: Jason

Jason — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 01:57:47 +0000

Yes I've tried just about everything. Including re-uploaded the files and it still doesn't work. Could the issue be with my server? This is the coolest plugin I've seen, I hope I get it sorted.[audio:sound.mp3] [audio:http://www.my-site.com/audio/sound.mp3

By: Ken

Ken — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 06:36:38 +0000

Jason, try using the full url to you mp3 file. For example, something like:

[audio:http://your-domain.com/your-audio-direcotry/sound.mp3

By: Jason

Jason — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:36:48 +0000

I am having simalar problems, it is all installed my options are all default. But when I add the code nothing happens. I see the actual text in my post [audio:sound.mp3] no matter how I add it with the editor or in html, I cannot get the player to display and play. Anyone have any idea why?

By: Ken

Ken — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 05:17:33 +0000

Connie, these are my settings for the plugin options:

Don't forget the brackets in the audio syntax:

Connie — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 03:49:17 +0000

Help! I got the Audio player to install fine, but I can't get the Audio player to work. I tried both the code options you mentioned and it doesn't show up in my post. What settings do you recommend from the options page?
