<p>Smooth Music Gallery helps you turn ordinary image galleries into rich, interactive experiences with background music, animated effects, and modern presentation styles.</p>
<p>Whether you are building a landing page, an artist portfolio, a wedding gallery, a travel story, or a product showcase, the plugin gives you an easy way to make galleries feel more alive and memorable.</p>
<p>You can use it in two simple ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg block for native block editor workflows.</li>
<li>Shortcode Builder for classic editors and third-party page builders.</li>
</ul>
<p>What you can do with Smooth Music Gallery:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add your own images and background music in a few clicks.</li>
<li>Choose from ready-made gallery themes to match different styles and moods.</li>
<li>Add animated overlay effects and dynamic background effects for a more engaging look.</li>
<li>Create audio-reactive visuals that move with the music.</li>
<li>Adjust gallery size and slide timing to fit your layout.</li>
<li>Build galleries visually and generate a shortcode for any page or builder.</li>
<li>Use media from the WordPress Media Library or optional Smooth CDN assets.</li>
<li>Optionally serve gallery frontend assets through Smooth CDN.</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for creators, photographers, musicians, agencies, event sites, and anyone who wants a gallery that feels more premium than a standard slider.</p>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
<p>The source code for this plugin is publicly available in the repository:</p>
<p>https://github.com/Miro0/smooth-music-gallery</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>Smooth Music Gallery can optionally connect to Smooth CDN to let administrators browse sample assets in the editor.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: Smooth CDN Asset Picker (<code>https://cdn.smoothcdn.com</code>)</li>
<li>Purpose: Browse and select optional sample image/audio files.</li>
<li>Trigger: Requests are sent only when an administrator selects the <strong>Smooth CDN assets</strong> source and opens the picker dialog.</li>
<li>Data sent: Standard browser request data (IP address, user agent, referrer) and picker query parameters (for example file type, project slug, version).</li>
<li>Frontend behavior: If a gallery uses external Smooth CDN URLs, visitor browsers request those media files directly from Smooth CDN.</li>
<li>Service: Smooth CDN Gallery Asset Delivery (<code>https://music-gallery.smoothcdn.com</code>)</li>
<li>Purpose: Optional delivery of this plugin’s frontend gallery scripts/styles.</li>
<li>Trigger: Requests are sent only when an administrator enables <strong>Serve gallery assets via Smooth CDN</strong> in plugin settings.</li>
<li>Data sent: Standard browser request data (IP address, user agent, referrer) when the frontend gallery loads those assets.</li>
<li>Terms of Service: <code>https://smoothcdn.com/terms</code></li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <code>https://smoothcdn.com/privacy</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The external service is optional. The plugin works without it by using only the WordPress Media Library.</p>

<p>The plugin was originally created for <a href="https://davedrapercreations.co.uk/" title="Dave Draper" rel="nofollow ugc">Dave Draper’s</a> website where it is used on the music pages. For an example, please see the page for the <a href="http://davedrapercreations.co.uk/music/the-wild-bunch/" title="The Wild Bunch" rel="nofollow ugc">Wild Bunch album</a> featuring Dave on vocals and bass.</p>
<p>Audio Album uses the default audio capabilities of mediaelement.js included with core WordPress files and enables you to style a group of audio files (MP3 etc) as single block formatted as an album. The colours can be customized in the Audio Album section of the WordPress customizer.</p>
<p>You can display as many Audio Albums as you need on your site, with multiple albums on each page.</p>
<h4>Usage:</h4>
<p>There are two shortcodes that can be used <code>[audioalbum]</code> and <code>[audiotrack]</code></p>
<pre><code>[audioalbum]
</code></pre>
<p>This shortcode is required and can be used as a header before the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcodes.</p>
<ul>
<li>title</li>
<li>detail</li>
<li>
<p>date</p>
<p>[audiotrack]<br />
This acts as a wrapper to the WordPress [audio] shortcode so uses the same parameters as the [audio] shortcode, plus the following which are specific to this plugin:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>title</p>
</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
<li>songwriter</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>buttonlink</li>
</ul>
<p>The following attributes can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode in the same way in which they are used in the default WordPress [audio] shortcode:</p>
<ul>
<li>src</li>
<li>mp3</li>
<li>ogg</li>
<li>wma</li>
<li>m4a</li>
<li>wav</li>
<li>loop</li>
<li>autoplay</li>
<li>preload</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example</h4>
<pre><code>[audioalbum title="The Album Title" detail="Some other Details" date="2022"]

[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3"]

[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Lyrics / other info in a popup window</h4>
<p>There are some additional parameters which can be added to the [audioalbum] shortcode to optionally add a button to allow a visitor to open a link on each audio track to open a page in your site within a popup window.</p>
<p>You need to first create the page, post, or custom post type post and make a note of the post/page id.</p>
<p>There are four parameter/value pairs which can be added to the [audiotrack] shortcode to make a popup link</p>
<ul>
<li>buttonlink</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
</ul>
<p>Enter the page/post id of the target page as the value for the buttonlink parameter. A button will only be shown when a value is set for the buttonlink parameter.</p>
<p>The buttontext attribute is optional, if no value is specified, the default label of ‘lyrics’ will be shown on the button.</p>
<p>The dimensions of the popup window can also be specified using optional width and height attributes. If no values are given, default values of 520px (width) and 400px (height) will be used.</p>
<p>If your site is using a Genesis child theme, as a little bonus, a landing-page template without a masthead, menus, sidebars or other distractions will be applied to the popup page.</p>
<h4>Example with default ‘lyrics’ button</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3" buttonlink="808"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Example with custom button and custom popup window dimensions</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3" buttonlink="909" buttontext="linklabel" width="300" height="500"]
</code></pre>
<p>The parameters used with the standard native WordPress audio shortcode outlined in the codex: <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode" title="Audio Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Audio Shortcode</a> page can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode.</p>
