WordPressサイトに音声ファイルを追加したいですか？コンテンツ管理システムであるWordPressは、初期設定で音声ファイルを扱うことができます。しかし、多くの初心者はこのことを知りません。この投稿では、WordPressで音声ファイルを追加し、プレイリストを作成する方法を紹介します。
WordPressでサポートされている音声ファイルフォーマット
WordPressでは、音声ファイルの埋め込みにHTML5の音声タグを使用しています。これは、ほとんどの最新端末と互換性があり、特にモバイル端末に適しています。HTML5 audio タグは、MP3、OGG、WAV ファイル形式をサポートしています。
MP3は音声ファイルとして最も一般的に使用され、広くサポートされているフォーマットです。

動画が気に入らなかったり、もっと説明が必要な場合は、このまま読み進めてください。
WordPressで個別音声ファイルを追加する
WordPressの投稿やページに個別音声ファイルや音楽トラックを追加するのはとても簡単です。投稿編集画面のメディア追加ボタンをクリックするだけです。
次に、メディアアップローダーのポップアップが画面に表示されます。アップロードファイルボタンをクリックして音声ファイルを選択し、アップロードする必要があります。アップロードが完了したら、投稿に挿入ボタンをクリックしてください。
WordPressが音声ファイルを投稿に挿入します。ビジュアル投稿エディターを使用している場合は、投稿に埋め込まれたファイルを見ることができます。テキストエディターを使っている場合は、音声ショートコードが表示されます。
投稿の編集を続けることも、保存して公開することもできます。公開すると、投稿をプレビューすることができ、このように音声ファイルが埋め込まれているのが見えます。
個別音声ファイルを追加するもう一つの簡単な方法は、メディアライブラリにファイルをアップロードすることです。その後、ファイルのURLをコピー＆ペーストしてビジュアルエディターに貼り付けるだけです。
WordPressが自動的にURLを埋め込んでくれます。これは、WordPressで動画を埋め込む方法と似ており、YouTube動画のURLを貼り付けるだけで、WordPressが自動的に埋め込んでくれます。
WordPressで音声プレイリストを追加する
画像ギャラリーと同じように、メディアアップローダーを使ってWordPressの投稿に音声プレイリストを追加することもできます。メディアを追加ボタンをクリックするだけで、音声ファイルをアップロードできます。
音声ファイルをアップロードしたら、プレイリストに含めたいファイルを選択し、左側のカラムにある新しいプレイリストの作成をクリックします。
ドラッグ＆ドロップでプレイリスト内の曲を並べ替えることができます。また、トラック名、アーティスト名、イメージの表示を有効化することもできます。この情報はMP3ファイルのIDTメタタグに埋め込まれ、WordPressによって自動的に表示されます。
設定が完了したら、音声プレイリストの挿入ボタンをクリックするだけです。プレイリストが投稿に追加され、ビジュアルエディターで確認できるようになります。投稿を保存し、プレイリストをプレビューすることができます。
WordPressで音声ファイルのメタ情報を編集する
WordPressは、MP3ファイルのメタ情報を自動的に取得することができます。しかし、ファイルにメタ情報がない場合や、メタ情報を変更したい場合は、メディアアップローダーで変更できます。
メディアアップローダーを起動するには、メディアを追加ボタンをクリックしてください。音声ファイルをアップロードするか、すでに音声ファイルをアップロードしている場合は、メディアライブラリ内の音声ファイルをクリックしてください。
音声ファイルを選択すると、右側に添付ファイルの詳細欄が表示されます。ここには、トラックのタイトル、アーティスト名、アルバム名、キャプション、簡単な説明を入力できます。この情報は、プレイリストや個別添付ファイルのページに表示されます。
アップロードした音声ファイルにアルバムカバーとして使用する画像が埋め込まれている場合、この画像はWordPressによって自動的に抽出されます。この画像はメディアライブラリに保存され、このトラックがプレイリストに追加されたときに使用されます。
しかし、音声ファイルにカバー画像がない場合は、WordPressでファイルを編集して画像をアップロードすることができます。メディア ” ライブラリで編集したいファイルを選択し、その下にある編集リンクをクリックしてください。
メディアライブラリをグリッド表示で見ている場合は、音声ファイルをクリックするとポップアップが開きます。ポップアップの下にある詳細編集リンクをクリックすると、ファイルを編集できます。
このページでは、音声ファイルのメタ情報をすべて編集できるだけでなく、アイキャッチ画像をアップロードすることもできます。この画像は、音声ファイルがプレイリストに追加される際に使用されます。
サイドバーウィジェットに音声ファイルとプレイリストを追加する
初期設定では、WordPressは音声ファイルのURLを自動的に埋め込みません。まず、テキストウィジェットの自動埋め込みを有効化し、次にショートコードを有効化する必要があります。このコードをテーマのfunctions.phpファイルまたはサイト固有のプラグインに貼り付けるだけです。
[cbk1］
これで、メディアライブラリにファイルをアップロードし、そのURLをコピーすることができる。WordPressのサイドバーにテキストウィジェットを追加し、その中にURLを貼り付けます。
WordPressは自動的にURLをメディアプレーヤーに埋め込み、音声ファイルを再生します。
プレイリストを追加するには、プレイリストに含めたいメディアファイルのIDをショートコードに入力する必要があります。
まず、メディア ” 新規追加にアクセスして、プレイリストに含めたい音声ファイルをアップロードする必要があります。
次に、プレイリストに追加したい各音声ファイルを編集する必要があります。メディアライブラリのファイルの下にある編集リンクをクリックするか、グリッド表示でメディアライブラリを表示している場合は詳細編集リンクをクリックしてください。
メディアを編集]ページでは、タイトルフィールドの下にメディアファイルIDが表示されます。
プレイリストに追加したいファイルのIDがわかったので、このようにショートコードを使うことができます：
.
idsを自分のファイルIDに置き換えるのを忘れないでください。このショートコードはテキストウィジェットで使用できます。テストサイトではこのように表示されました：

Do you recommend optimizing audio files to minimize file size, like is recommended for images?
Thanks for another informative article!
WPBeginner Support says
We would not normally recommend hosting audio or video on your site and instead embed it from another service but if you do plan to upload the files to your site you would want to optimize them for reduced file size.

This doesn’t work now? Whenever I upload an mp3 single file less than 5mb in size, it says “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”

As of WordPress 5.4, single songs work but I don’t think you can do playlists (unless I’m missing something). I’m guessing it can still be done with HTML though, but an external embed like Sound Cloud might be easier. Just posting this in case someone else is having trouble finding how to make a playlist, so you don’t waste your time.
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, at the moment there is not a playlist block with the block editor, we will be sure to take a look for what we can update with for other options.

Is it possible to have a playlist on my home page
I have created it on a new page and it works great just what i want for the home page but can’t seem to make that happen.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP
WPBeginner Support says
It would depend on your specific theme and if you’re using a static homepage, otherwise you would need to add the playlist to a widget

I’ve done all this but my files don’t show attachment_id. its just the file name as i’ve saved it.
what i was hoping to do was to have a page with lecture notes by topic and this doesn’t seem to work.
any ideas or am i doing it wrong. no issues adding to the functions.php but i haven’t added a text widget because i don’t want to see the widget on every page.

I am able to insert an audio file into a post using your above method. It is in a Wav format. However, the audio file will not play in preview. Do I have to actually publish the post for the audio to play?
Yesenia Latorre says
Hello, I figured out how to add the audio file to both, a post and Footer 1, I actually like it better at the bottom of the page, it was pretty easy to upload, it’s about 3 minutes of a song, however, like your photo above it shows 00:00 and I published it and when i press play, it wont? help? Also, this is my first site, so I haven’t launched it yet, does that have anything to do with it? Also can i make it play automatically whenever someone visits the site?
Natasha Lane says
Hello,
I keep following this method to add my audio but it only becomes available as a download and can’t actually be played on my site. Can you tell me why this is?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Natasha,
Your audio clip needs to be in supported format MP3, OGG, and WAV file formats.

Great tutorial. Followed it to a “T,” however, files will not load. The files are compatible as they are MP3, and they worked back when I started up my website. Now there is a 2MB limit. Any ideas? All songs are longer than 2MB. It will work in a post, but not as this suggests in a media library. I have not tried a widget playlist as I thought it would do the same. Have tried from both URL and selecting files, but as stated the limit prevents me from adding anything. TIA.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Lynne,
You can increase the maximum file upload limit in WordPress.
April Perez says
I need to add a playlist to my website. I am a DJ and need to have brides and friends access playlist and put songs and artists as well as be able to add MP3 files on the list if needed. I need it to be specifically accessible to each party separately. I am not sure which plug in is best. I use WordPress regularly for my website. Can you advise?

What size should the photo be set to so you can see it with correct aspect ratio? It’s only showing me the top 1/3 to 1/2 of my photo.
Marcio Motta says
I have a blog with a considerable number of visitors and would like to make available an audio version of the posts, that is, all the posts would be reproduced, also, in audio.
My question is whether this could be characterized in duplicate content for Google.

Very good tutorial but i want to know if it is possible to add “download” button on single song and how.
joel says
I got watched many tutorials on how to add audio and create playlist but I can’t find a tutorial/lesson on how to add download option in the playlist.
Jesse says
I want to create a playlist as a widget, but the permalinks for my audio files are showing as the artist/song names, not as attachment ids with numbers. Therefore when I want to create a playlist made up of song ids, I’m not sure how to do that. Is there a way to change this or get the id that I’m not seeing?
Randy says
I host a weekly radio show. For the time being I am using HTML tables to create my playlist. Is there an easier less time consuming way to do this? My radio shows are on my hosting site in mp3 format. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
I use Google sheets to write out my playlist for a given show and then use the online tool tableizer to convert the text to table. Then I take that code and paste it to my WordPress page. I go through a lot of steps and would love to simplify this process.
Thanks!!!!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Randy,
The instructions mentioned above will help you create a playlist in WordPress itself. You can also check out these audio player plugins for WordPress to make things more simpler.

Hello, I’m trying to add an audio playlist (mp3 files) to my homepage in a widget and I’m not able to. I have the Maxwell template. Does this template allow for this function? When I download music files, the “Create Playlist” function doesn’t appear. I’ve also tried installing the Cue plugin, which allows me to put a playlist on a post or a page, but not in a widget on the static homepage. Thanks for any help!

Any idea on what could cause music to play when clicked on the download link instead of downloading?

This tutorial was awesome. The mp3 file works great on my post page. However it doesn’t work on my site when accessed by an android phone or tablet. It does nothing when clicking the start button, any suggestions?

Can shared hosting take the load of music playbacks from website?
WPBeginner Support says
A couple of music files not accessed by many users at once will be fine. However, if you are getting many visitors and have multiple music files, then you will need to upgrade your hosting to managed WordPress hosting.

Is there a way to share this audio on social media such as Facebook or Twitter, etc?
Melissa says
I’m never listening to what WP Beginner says again. I was trying to add a code for different music player as the one I have doesn’t do playlists. It says WordPress can do it itself, so I added what it said where it said and the following happened.
Adding Audio Files and Playlists to Sidebar Widgets is the bit I added. Now I get this error when trying to do anything on my site
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘add_filter’ (T_STRING) in /home/user/public_html/example.com/wp-content/themes/mystore/functions.php on line 365
Just copy and paste that code into the functions.php you said. Great, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Melissa,
Please see our guide on how to fix syntax error in WordPress. You may also want to see our beginner’s guide on how to copy paste code in WordPress.
The error you are seeing indicates that in your WordPress functions there is an unclosed statement before add_filter at line 365. Probably just a missing semi colon. You can easily fix that by editing your functions file using an FTP client or file manager in your hosting control panel.

HI, is there any way that we can sort the songs in the playlist based on number of views

Is there a way to create a Playlist using external (remote) mp3 files?
Kevin Gilbert says
I know how to embed the audio player for one song, and then edit it to provide both an mp3 and an ogg file so that the right one plays based on the visitor’s browser. Does anyone know if that’s doable when you’re creating a playlist? I can’t seem to find whether that’s possible or not, and how to do it.
Jesse Cann says
Is there a way to have the mp3 set to autoplay and to loop when the page is uploaded? Thanks.

Nice article everything works.
So I’d like to know if you have an idea how to make the audio files downloadable, probably to insert a download button along the playlist for each track?
Thanks
Chris Mueller says
It seems that every time I create a playlist, the audio files can be easily downloaded by users. In the video, it appears that the songs are not downloadable by the viewer. Could someone offer assistance in making these audio files non-downloadable?
Sem says
I have the same problem!
The playlist shows on the website’s page not with the possibility to play it but download it.
How can I fix it ?
Thanks
Angela Bowman says
Hi, I have definitely used this approach in the past. I am migrating a client from Host Gator to WP Engine and realized they have over 1GB of audio files they are hosting (and streaming of course) on their site. This is a huge bandwidth issue, as you can imagine. Not that the files are access frequently, but it occurred to me that self hosting audio may be just as bad as self hosting video.
In the past, I’ve hosted the files on Amazon S3 account instead and used an audio streaming plugin to fetch those files. I think that would be a better solution to avoid download/bandwidth issues on the web host.
However, I’m wondering if an even better solution is to host and stream the files via SoundCloud or similar service, then embed the SoundCloud file on the website?
I’m trying to assess what is going to allow best performance, reliability, and least bandwidth hit to the WP hosting account.
Thanks!
erase says
Take Note: anyone trying to do this, shouldn’t copy and paste the ‘play list’, code rather manually retype it to your own website because the quotation mark here seems to produce a False result. Thank You, it works.

Any guidance on what audio files you can post and which you shouldn’t for copyright reasons? Even some links would be useful.
It’s very easy to upload files, but it’s also very easy for artist / label / copyright holders to submit a DMCA Takedown notice to your ISP (internet service provider) or hosting service:
WPBeginner Support says
As a general rule of thumb, you should not upload audio files containing the works that you haven’t created yourself. You can create and upload your own audio files, or the audio files that are currently in public domain.

I Have embedded different streaming radios in my site. Selecting them one by one they all play simultaneously. Is it in WordPress a way to automatically close the playing radio on selecting a other one?

Any plug-in suggestions for situations with large size MP3 files that are too big to upload into the Media Library. Rather than music, these are educational lectures. Files sizes around 40 – 45MB
Kevin Gilbert says
Peter, Ask your host to increase your file size upload limit for WordPress. If they won’t or can’t, and it’s something you really need, you might want to change hosts. For one of my client’s sites on WPEngine, they’ve increased our upload size to 200MB. Once a year, we upload about 10 audio files from a conference, and we needed the additional file size settings because the files are usually of one-hour talks, so they’re larger than just your typical audio song file.
