विवरण
Valacuhi MP3 Player helps musicians and creators publish album-style MP3 playlists directly on WordPress.
It is intentionally lightweight: no external frontend libraries, no bloated builders, and no paid add-on dependency for core playback/download workflows.
It keeps the setup simple and fast while offering a feature combination that is often split across paid tiers in other plugins.
Features include:
– Album custom post type
– Shortcode embed: [valacuhi_mp3_player id=”123″]
– Play/Pause, Previous/Next, seek bar
– Mute/Unmute and Mix mode
– MP3 metadata extraction (title, artist, album, genre, duration)
– Embedded artwork extraction from MP3 files
– Per-track and album ZIP download buttons with counters
– Premium lightweight v0.4 interface
– v0.4.3 unified inline SVG control icon family
– v0.4.4 mobile control-row polish and clearer Mix active state
Notes for Site Owners
- Download counters are transient-based lightweight counters.
- They are useful for UI feedback, not long-term analytics.

- Duration: extracted from MP3 metadata
- Artwork: embedded MP3 image preferred; album featured image used as fallback
- Title: MP3

Why is metadata missing for some tracks?
-
Metadata is read from MP3 tags. If tags are missing in the file, those fields stay empty.
-
Why does artwork not appear?

Artwork is extracted from embedded MP3 image frames. If an MP3 has no embedded image, the album featured image is used.
-
Are download counters permanent analytics?

No. Counters use lightweight transients and are intended as simple UI feedback.
