How the Pro version of the Music Player for Easy Digital Downloads protect the audio files?
If the “Protect the file” checkbox was ticked in the download’s page, and was entered an integer number through the attribute: “Percent of audio used for protected playbacks”, the plugin will create a truncated copy of the audio files for selling (or the audio files for demo) into the “/wp-content/plugins/eddmp” directory, to be used as demo. The sizes of the audio files for demo are a percentage of the sizes of the original files (the integer number entered in the player’s settings). So, the users cannot access to the original audio files, from the public pages of website.

The widget settings:
<ul>

<li>Downloads IDs: enter the ids of downloads to include in the playlist, separated by comma, or the * symbol to include all downloads.</li>
<li>Player layout: select the layout of music players (the widget uses only the play/pause control)</li>
<li>Preload: to decide if preload the audio files, their metadata, or don’t preload nothing at all. This attribute has a global scope, and will modify the default settings.</li>
<li>Play all: play all players in the page (one after the other). This attribute has a global scope, and will modify the default settings.</li>
<li>Highlight the current download: if the checkbox is ticked, and the user is in the page of a download, and it is included in the playlist, the corresponding item would be highlighted in the playlist.</li>
<li>Continue playing after navigate: if the checkbox is ticked, and there is a song playing when navigates, the player will continue playing after loading the webpage, in the same position.</li>
</ul>
Note: In mobiles devices (and some browsers) where the direct action of user is required for playing audios and videos, the plugin cannot start playing dynamically.

Embeddable Song Request Form for Radio Stations
Designed for Radio Stations
PlayMe was requested by a radio station deejay and built to best serve both the studio and the listeners.
<ul>
<li>Listeners may provide their name, the artist/song name, and a dedication (or comments), to make realtime requests to Radio Stations and Deejays.</li>
<li>The form is easily embeddable using the shortcode [playme] and can optionally require Google’s reCAPTCHA to verify requests before they’re submitted. Put “[playme]” on its own line in the page content (using Text View) to position the PlayMe form where you want it to appear on your page.</li>
<li>On the backend, requests are shown in a list that refreshes passively every minute, and can be dismissed/hidden once the request has been addressed.</li>
<li>For privacy, the only information captured (apart from what’s entered in the submission form) is an IP Address, to offer some insight to site owners about those who are submitting song requests. </li>
