Vill du lägga till ljudfiler på din site i WordPress? WordPress är ett system för hantering av content och kan som standard hantera ljud. Många Beginnare känner dock ej till detta. I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du lägger till ljudfiler och skapar playlists i WordPress.
Format för ljudfiler som stöds i WordPress
WordPress använder HTML5 audio tag för att embed ljudfiler. Den är kompatibel med de flesta moderna enheter och fungerar viss bra för mobila enheter. HTML5 audio tag stödjer filformaten MP3, OGG och WAV.
MP3 är det vanligaste och mest utbredda formatet för ljudfiler och vi rekommenderar att du använder det när det är möjligt.
Tutorial för video
Om du inte gillar videoklippet eller behöver fler instruktioner, fortsätt då att läsa.
Lägga till en enda ljudfil i WordPress
Det är mycket enkelt att lägga till en enskild ljudfil eller ett musik track till ett WordPress inlägg eller page. Klicka bara på knappen add media på vyn för edit av post.
Därefter kommer en popup med mediauppladdaren att visas på din vy. Du måste klicka på knappen Uppladdare för att välja och ladda upp ditt ljud. När den är uppladdad måste du klicka på insert into post-knappen.
WordPress kommer att insert din ljudfil i posten. Om du använder visual post editor kommer du att kunna se den fil som är embed i your post. Om du använder textredigeraren kommer du att se shortcoden för ljud.
Du kan fortsätta att editera din post, eller save och publicera den. När du har publicerat kan du förhandsgranska ditt post där du kommer att se din ljudfil embed så här.
Ett annat enklare sätt att add to en enstaka ljudfil är att uploada filen till mediabiblioteket. Därefter kopierar du helt enkelt filens URL och klistrar in den i visual editor.
WordPress kommer automatiskt att embedda URL:en åt dig. Detta liknar hur du bäddar in videoklipp i WordPress där du bara klistrar in URL:en till ett YouTube videoklipp och WordPress bäddar in det automatiskt.
Lägga till en playlist med ljud i WordPress
Precis som gallerier med images kan du också lägga till ljud playlists till dina WordPress posts med hjälp av media uppladdaren. Klicka bara på knappen add media för att uppladare dina media filer.
När du har uppladdat dina ljudfiler måste du välja de filer som du vill inkludera i playlisten och sedan klicka på länken Skapa new playlist i den vänstra kolumnen.
Du kan nu dra and drop för att ordna om låtar i playlisten. Du kan också aktivera displayen av track, artistnamn och image. Denna information är embed med din MP3-fils IDT-metataggar och visas automatiskt av WordPress.
När du är klar klickar du helt enkelt på knappen insert audio playlist. Din playlist kommer att läggas till i ditt post, och du kommer att kunna se den i visual editor. Du kan nu save your post och previewa din playlist.
Editera Meta-information om ljudfiler i WordPress
WordPress kan automatiskt hämta metainformationen från din MP3-fil. Men om din fil inte har någon metainformation, eller om du gillar att ändra den, kan du göra det i media file-uppladdaren.
Klicka på knappen Add Media för att starta uppladdaren för media. You can upload your audio file or if you have already uploaded the audio file, then click on it in the Media Library.
När ljudfilen är vald kommer du att notera attachment details column till höger. Det är här du kan ange rubrik, artistnamn, albumnamn, caption och kort description för tracket. Denna information kommer att visas i playlists och på enskilda bilagssidor.
Om ljudfilen som du uploadade har en embed image som ska användas som album cover, kommer denna image automatiskt att extraheras av WordPress. Den kommer att lagras i ditt mediabibliotek och användas när detta track läggs till i en playlist.
Men om ditt ljud inte har en cover image kan du editera filen i WordPress och uploada en image. Gå bara till Media ” Bibliotek select den fil du vill edit och klicka på edit-länken under den.
Om du visar mediabiblioteket i grid-vyn öppnas en popup när du klickar på ljudfilen. Du kan klicka på länken Edit more details längst ner i popupen för att editera filen.
Du kommer nu till sidan Edit media, där du inte ej bara kan redigera all meta-information för din ljudfil, utan du kan också uploade en featured image. Denna image kommer sedan att användas när ljudfilen läggs till i en playlist.
Lägga till ljudfiler och playlists i sidebar-widgets
Som standard embedar WordPress inte automatiskt URL:er för ljudfiler. Först måste vi aktivera automatisk embed för textwidgets, och sedan måste vi aktivera shortcodes. Klistra bara in den här koden i ditt temas functions.php-fil eller i ett site-specifikt plugin.
add_filter( 'widget_text', array( $wp_embed, 'run_shortcode' ), 8 ); add_filter( 'widget_text', array( $wp_embed, 'autoembed'), 8 ); add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Nu kan du uploada en fil till mediabiblioteket och kopiera dess URL. Add a text widget till WordPress sidebar och klistra in URL:en i den.
WordPress kommer automatiskt att embedda URL:en i media player för att spela upp din ljudfil.
För att add to en playlist måste du använda shortcode med ID:n för de media filer som du vill inkludera i playlisten.
Först måste du ladda upp de ljudfiler som du vill inkludera i playlisten genom att besöka Media ” Add New.
Nu måste du editera varje ljudfil som du vill add to i playlisten. Klicka bara på länken edit under filen i mediabiblioteket eller klicka på länken edit more details om du viewar mediabiblioteket i grid-vyn.
På sidan Edit Media kommer du att få ID:n för media file under titelfältet.
Nu när du har ID:n för filen som du vill add to i playlisten kan du använda shortcode så här:
Glöm inte att ersätta ID:n med dina egna fil-ID:n. Du kan använda denna shortcode i en text widget. Så här såg det ut på vår test site:

Do you recommend optimizing audio files to minimize file size, like is recommended for images?
Thanks for another informative article!
WPBeginner Support
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.

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
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
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
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
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.

Hi Lynne,
You can increase the maximum file upload limit in WordPress.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!!!!

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!

Can shared hosting take the load of music playbacks from website?
WPBeginner Support
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.

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
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.

Is there a way to create a Playlist using external (remote) mp3 files?
Kevin Gilbert
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.

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

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
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
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!

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
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.

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
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.
