How the Pro version of the Music Player for WooCommerce protect the audio files?

If the “Protect the file” checkbox was ticked in the product’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/wcmp” 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 the products.

Music Player for WooCommerce – Playlist Widget

The widget allows to include a playlist on sidebars, with the downloadable files associated to all products with the music player enabled, or for only some of the products.

The widget settings:

Title: the title of the widget on sidebar.

Products IDs: enter the ids of products to include in the playlist, separated by comma, or the * symbol to include all products.

Playlist layout: select between the new playlist layout and the original one.

Player layout: select the layout of music players (the widget uses only the play/pause control)

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.

Play all: play all players in the page (one after the other). This attribute has a global scope, and will modify the default settings.

Highlight the current product: if the checkbox is ticked, and the user is in the page of a product, and it is included in the playlist, the corresponding item would be highlighted in the playlist.

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.

Note: In mobiles devices where the direct action of user is required for playing audios and videos, the plugin cannot start playing dynamically.

Other recommended plugins

If your project is a music store, and WooCommerce is more than you need it is possible to use Music Store plugin

Or if you need a general purpose music and video player, not especific for WooCommerce, CP Media Player – Audio Player and Video Player plugin

Multilingual Support (WPML) The plugin ships with a wpml-config.xml file in the plugin root that registers the three custom fields used by the “Select my own demo files” feature with WPML:

_wcmp_demos_list

_wcmp_own_demos

_wcmp_direct_own_demos

All three are registered with action=”copy-once”, which means:

When a new translation is created, the demo files and their activation flags are copied from the source language to the new translation at creation time.

Once the translation exists, subsequent updates to the source language do NOT overwrite the translation. Editors can customise per-language demos (for example, to use a sample with a different voiceover or accent) without losing their changes on the next source save.

This is the conservative default that does not change behaviour for sites that do not explicitly opt in. If your site should propagate demo file changes from the source language to all translations on every update, go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom Field Translation and change the action for each of the three fields above from “Copy once” to “Copy”.

After updating the plugin (or after first activation on a site that has WPML installed), go to WPML -> Support -> Troubleshooting and click Clear cache in WPML so the new configuration is picked up.
