Nucleus Audio Playlist

Audio Playlist is a modern, self-hosted HTML5 audio player for WordPress. It dynamically reads MP3 and WAV files from a folder on your server — no Spotify, no SoundCloud, no dependency on external music services.

Features

• Reads tracks automatically from your audio folder
• Displays track titles based on filenames (clean formatting with spaces and capitalization)
• Displays a cover image (cover.jpg or cover.png) for the playlist
• Renders an interactive waveform powered by WaveSurfer.js
• Full playback controls: Play, Pause, Previous, Next, Shuffle, Loop, Volume
• Auto-scrolling title for long track names
• Works in any shortcode-compatible field — no Gutenberg block required
• Compatible with Divi and other page builders
• Configurable background color for the player

Usage

Place your MP3 files in a folder named playlist under your audio base directory, add a cover.jpg, then use the shortcode:

[nuclaup_playlist label="My Playlist"]

Free version limitations

• Reads tracks from a single fixed folder named playlist
• Single cover image per playlist (cover.jpg) — no per-track covers

Pro version

• Multiple playlists with custom folder paths
• ID3 tag reading (title, artist) for accurate track metadata
• Per-track cover art via catalog code matching
• Companion Python script to extract and resize cover art from MP3 ID3 tags
