Audio Player Block – Play Audio Beautifully on Any Page vs Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!

Give your visitors a beautiful listening experience – add a stylish audio player with playlists and cover art to any post or page, no code required. Get Pro Version | Support Why Audio Player Block? The default WordPress audio embed is plain and forgettable. Audio Player Block replaces it with a polished, customizable player that fits your design – complete with track titles, artist names, and cover images. Add multiple audio tracks to build a playlist, or select a single file for a simple standalone player. Smart play/pause control plays one track at a time and automatically pauses the others, so overlapping audio never happens. Everything is configured right in the Gutenberg editor, and shortcode support lets you place the same player anywhere on your site. Free Features Multiple Audio Management: Easily add or remove multiple audio tracks with full control over your playlist. Track Details Input: Set a custom title and artist name for each track to keep your content well organized. Cover Image & Audio Upload: Upload audio files along with a cover image for a more engaging, visual player. Player Customization: Adjust width and height, and style colors, backgrounds, and hover effects to match your website. Smart Play/Pause Control: Play one track at a time while others pause automatically; click again to pause the current track. Shortcode Integration: Display the audio player anywhere on your website with a shortcode. Pro Version Want more themes and playback controls? Audio Player Block Pro unlocks: 5 Customizable Themes with different looks and settings. Auto Play – automatically start the next song once the current one ends. Loop Mode – repeat the current track when it finishes. Prev/Next Navigation to move through the playlist. Current & Total Time Display for each track. Custom Stop Button you can show or hide.
