The plugin acts as a bridge between your streaming server and your website visitors, providing a visual interface for the audio data.
Broad Stream Compatibility: Supports Shoutcast (V1 & V2) and Icecast. It primarily handles MP3 streams, but supports AAC on browsers that natively handle the codec.
Real-Time Metadata: Automatically fetches and displays the Current Song Title, Artist Name, and Album Art (often sourced via the MusicBrainz API or Wikimedia).
Responsive Design: The player UI adjusts for desktops, tablets, and smartphones. It includes a “Sticky” mode to keep the player visible as users scroll.
Customization:
Skin Options: Usually includes Light/Dark themes or “Black & White” presets.
Color Pickers: Over 70 parameters to match the player to your brand’s hex codes.
Visualizers: Some versions include real-time audio visualizers (oscilloscopes or bars) powered by the Web Audio API.
Page Builder Integration: Compatible with Gutenberg blocks, Elementor widgets, and WPBakery, allowing you to drop the player into layouts without coding.
Shortcode: Use [radio-player id="1"] to place the player anywhere in your text.
Popup Player: Configure a “Pop-up” link so listeners can keep the music playing in a separate window while they browse other websites.
Multiple Instances: You can host multiple stations on a single page by assigning different stream URLs to different player IDs.
