Play mp3s in your posts with the simplest, cleanest mp3 player.  Supports other players' tags and separate download URLs.  CSS styling coming soon.

== Description ==

All the other WordPress audio players were crappy or ugly so I made a better one.

Deactivate that lame Flash player and install a plugin that makes you proud to embed mp3s. WPaudio installs in seconds, looks great, and uses simple tags... all without bulky files or affecting page load times.

### Easy to install, easy to use

Install directly from WordPress (just go to *Plugins* -> *Add New*) and start embedding mp3s immediately. You supply the URL -- WPaudio does the rest. It's as easy as:

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3"]

### Clean design with intuitive controls

Everything's tucked out of the way until you click play. Jog the track by clicking the position bar. Download by clicking the title. Simple.

### Compatible with your old audio player tags

Want to switch to a better player? Just deactivate your old plugin and let WPaudio give your old posts the dignity they deserve. WPaudio is compatible with Audio Player tags, with support for more on the way.

### Won't slow down your site

WPaudio was written to be as lightweight and fast-loading as possible. It uses Google's content delivery network for maximum speed.

##### Powered by the JW Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com)

== Usage ==

Try to include the text you want displayed with the player.  WPaudio will automatically read your mp3's ID3 tag, but including text will make loading smoother.

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song"]

To specify a different download URL (Mediafire, YSI, etc.), add the *dl* parameter.

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song" dl="http://download-host.com/mp3_download_url"]

The URL is the only required parameter (but again, specifying the text is recommended).

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3"]

== Installation ==

Follow these instructions to install WPaudio.

1. Unzip `wpaudio_1.1.zip` in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the *Plugins* menu in WordPress.
3. If you want WPaudio to handle old Audio Player tags (`[audio:http://url.to/your.mp3]`), go to *Settings* -> *WPaudio* and select that option.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I insert an mp3 in a post? =

Upload the mp3 using the Wordpress media uploader, then copy the URL.  Add the WPaudio shortcode to your post.  See example below.

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song"]

= Can I specify a different download URL for the mp3? =

Yes. Just add the *dl* option to your shortcode.  See example below.

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song" dl="http://download-host.com/mp3_download_url"]

= Do I have to specify the text? =

Nope.  WPaudio will read the mp3's ID3 tag automatically if you leave out the *text* parameter like so.

	[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3"]
