<p>Audio Player Widget is a small plugin that provides support for using the Audio-Player plugin in WordPress sidebars.</p>
<p>The Audio Player Widget requires Martin Laine’s WordPress Audio Player plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li>Homepage for Audio Player: http://wpaudioplayer.com/.</li>
<li>WordPress Plugin Page for Audio Player: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/audio-player/</li>
</ul>
<p>Using the Audio Player Widget is simple. If your theme supports widgets and you have the Audio Player plugin<br />
installed, you can drag the widget to the sidebar and specify a label and URL for an MP3 file. The widget<br />
will render the Audio Player in the sidebar when the page is loaded by dynamically generating the [audio:URL] tag<br />
the Audio Player plugin requires.</p>
