<h3>All the other WordPress mp3 players were crappy or ugly so I made a better one.</h3>
</p>
<p>WPaudio is a simple mp3 player. The minimal design fits any blog. It’s easy to use. It works with mobile devices like iPhone and Android. The file is small and won’t slow down your site.</p>
<h4>Clean design with intuitive controls</h4>
<p>Everything’s tucked out of the way until you click play. Jog the track by clicking the position bar. Simple.</p>
<h4>Easy to install, easy to use</h4>
<p>Install directly from WordPress (just go to <em>Plugins</em> -> <em>Add New</em>) and start embedding mp3s immediately. You can convert all mp3 links or only the ones you select.</p>
<h4>Compatible with your old Audio Player tags</h4>
<p>Want to switch to a better player? Just deactivate Audio Player and WPaudio will take care of it.</p>
<h4>Won’t slow down your site</h4>
<p>WPaudio was written for performance. It uses WordPress’s built-in scripts and HTML5.</p>
<h3>How to use WPaudio</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you want to convert every mp3 link into a player, go to <em>Settings</em> -> <em>WPaudio</em> and select the first option, <em>Convert all mp3 links</em>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you want to selectively convert mp3 links, just add the <code>wpaudio</code> class to the links you want converted, like this:</p>
<pre><code><a href="http://url.to/your.mp3" class="wpaudio">Artist - Song</a>
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you want to disable downloads or specify a different download URL, use the advanced tags.</p>
<pre><code>[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song" dl="0"]
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>For autoplay, just add autoplay=”1″ to your tags.</p>
<pre><code>[wpaudio url="http://url.to/your.mp3" text="Artist - Song" autoplay="1"]
</code></pre>
