Summary of this Tutorial:
By default WordPress supports mp3, ogg, and wav file formats and uses html5 audio tag to embed them and works really well on mobile devices.
If you want to add a single audio file, create a new post and click on add media, upload the audio file you want to add then click insert.
With the visual editor you can see the file embedded there, if you click on the text editor you will see the audio shortcode.
Now publish the post to see what it would look like.
You can add multiple audio files, when you have more than one you’ll see a link to create an audio playlist.
By default WordPress will bring in all of the meta data associated with the audio file but you can always click edit to change that info.
It even adds the album cover and lets you change it if you like.

Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!
how to add download button inside the playlist so that someone can listen the audio as well as he can download that audio
Thank you for sharing this information, very helpful and generous of you
Every time I try to down load my audio file , a window pops up that says the file is not secure.
helpful video but it won't let me upload audio unless I pay for the premium plan, I haven't got the money for that :/
You have great videos! Always useful and easy to follow. Thanks for all of your hard work 🙂
ability upload m3u files wordpress
and this video appear
But when I do so It shows ' this file is not permitted for security reasons'.
How can I overcome this?
Very helpful – I was NOT aware that WP could host audio and even more so, create playlists. My problem is solved. THANK YOU.
Love it! Piece of Cake. ThankS
Wish you had instructions about using the audio post format.
I think this video needs to be updated. Nothing in my version of WP looks anything like this and I am lost.
very helpful. Thank you very much!
Hi, there is a way to create a playlist and insert it on a web who was already created ? not to create a new one just for the playlist ? thanks a lot, best
are we supposed to be able to follow that… Click on new post add it to where you want?… without any direction ??? "Create new post add media ??? your running off into nothing… what happened to step by step?? Even slowing this down we don't know what your doing
This is only possible if you pay the premium plan. Forget it!
I like your voice you sound like you like oatmeal cookies.
How do only have a sample of the audio file? like just 30 secs of it?
Thanks. Looks easy enough. I'm waiting for my provider to increase the max. size for media files. It's now limited at 2M.
Hi, how can I create a preview of the audio? I am using Woocommerce to sell digital downloads. So I need to show a preview before purchase so the client can listen and choose.
I want to create a list with the price, and add to cart button, etc. I would appreciate any guidance. Thank you!
Simple and excellent how to video. Thank you!
