Audio Player Widget vs Spreaker Shortcode

Audio Player Widget is a small plugin that provides support for using the Audio-Player plugin in WordPress sidebars. The Audio Player Widget requires Martin Laine’s WordPress Audio Player plugin. Homepage for Audio Player: http://wpaudioplayer.com/. WordPress Plugin Page for Audio Player: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/audio-player/ Using the Audio Player Widget is simple. If your theme supports widgets and you have the Audio Player plugin installed, you can drag the widget to the sidebar and specify a label and URL for an MP3 file. The widget will render the Audio Player in the sidebar when the page is loaded by dynamically generating the [audio:URL] tag the Audio Player plugin requires.
