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.

<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>Terms of Service: <code>https://smoothcdn.com/terms</code></li>

Important! 
From version 1.5.8 the CSS has been changed; for all the one how have customized the skin they need to recreate their skin from <a href="http://pupunzi.com/mb.components/mb.miniAudioPlayer/demo/skinMaker.html" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.

From version 1.4.x you can customize your player appearance by using the <a href="http://pupunzi.com/mb.components/mb.miniAudioPlayer/demo/skinMaker.html" rel="nofollow ugc">on-line miniAudioPlayer Skin Editor</a>.

</ul>
<h3>How it works:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Activate the mb.miniAudioPlayer plugin via the WP plugin panel;</li>
<li>Edit a post or a page, click on the Upload/Insert media link and choose an mp3 file;</li>
<li>place it into the post wherever you want to show the player.</li>
<li>save the post and browse it; the player will show instead of the link at the file.</li>
</ol>
to change the player default settings go to the mb.miniAudioPlayer settings panel (you can find it under the “settings” section of the WP backend).
Options:
<ul>
<li>@ width = (int) the width in pixel of the player once opened.</li>
<li>@ skin = the color of the player interface (black, blue, orange, red, gray and green).</li>
<li>@ volume = (int) the initial volume of the player.</li>
<li>@ showVolumeLevel = a boolean to show or hide the volume control.</li>
<li>@ showTime = a boolean to show or hide the time counter.</li>
<li>@ showRew = a boolean to show or hide the rewind control.</li>
<li>@ autoPlay = (available only for the TinyMCE editor plugin) a boolean to set in play the player once the page is loaded.</li>
<li>@ downloadable = a boolean to show the download button next to the player.</li>
<li>@ excluded = a string containing the CSS class for audio links that should not be converted into player.</li>
</ul>
Ubuntu Chromium issue
Due to some codecs missing in the default Ubuntu Chromium install the player will not work. This problem can be resolved by simply installing that codecs via console: 
sudo apt-get-install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
After that your player should work fine.
