Smooth Music Gallery helps you turn ordinary image galleries into rich, interactive experiences with background music, animated effects, and modern presentation styles.
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.
You can use it in two simple ways:
<ul>
<li>Gutenberg block for native block editor workflows.</li>
<li>Shortcode Builder for classic editors and third-party page builders.</li>
</ul>
What you can do with Smooth Music Gallery:
<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>
Perfect for creators, photographers, musicians, agencies, event sites, and anyone who wants a gallery that feels more premium than a standard slider.

<h3>External Services</h3>
Smooth Music Gallery can optionally connect to Smooth CDN to let administrators browse sample assets in the editor.
<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 Smooth CDN assets 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 Serve gallery assets via Smooth CDN 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>
The external service is optional. The plugin works without it by using only the WordPress Media Library.

Cue makes it easy to create and manage beautiful, fully responsive audio playlists. Primarily built with music in mind, Cue can also be used for podcasts, sermons or to showcase voice over samples.
There’s no need to fiddle with XML, JSON, or FTP. Just upload audio files with the familiar WordPress Media Manager, then insert them into a playlist with the click of a button. Cue fetches metadata from uploaded files to automatically complete the title, artist, and length for each track.
It works on desktop, tablets, and other mobile devices.
