== Description ==

*WP SoundSystem* is a complete solution to manage music in WordPress.

Import, create and manage tracklists, play tracks, connect to popular music services, and more !

[See it working on Spiff Radio](https://www.spiff-radio.org/)

Unlike most plugins, WP SoundSystem is *not* embedding third-party widgets in Wordpress.
It goes *further* by using its own **customizable player** : no brands, no logos, but **your own data & design** !

Playing tracks does not rely on a single service, since multiple links can be associated to a track (Youtube, Soundcloud, Spotify, audio files, anything!).

= Tracklists =

We have two types of tracklists : Playlists, and Radios.

= But what the hell are Radios ? =

Unlike Playlists, you cannot add, remove or reorder the tracks of a Radio : it is synced with an external URL, and updates seamlessly after a user-defined delay.  This is something very specific to this plugin.

[Check some Radios on Spiff Radio](http://spiff-radio.org/?post_type=wpsstm_radio&tag=editors-pick&author=1)

For example, a Radio might be

* Synced to a station website "now playing" page, cached for only 15 minutes since it is updated constantly on the remote side.
* Synced to a Spotify playlist, cached for 1 day (or more) since there is only a few chances that its author might have updated it.

A Radio synced with a Spotify playlist of yours would bring an always up-to-date playlist to your visitors, without having to update your website.

You can also create a Radio to fetch a tracklist you like, then convert it to a (static) Playlist so you have a backup of it.

Any tracklists can be exported to the standard [XSPF](http://xspf.org/) file format.

= Tracks =

Tracks can be favorited and shared by your users frontend, or added to a new playlist on-the-fly.
Backend, you can query details from music services like [MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/) (The Open Music Encyclopedia) or Spotify.

= Tracks Links =

You can attach a bunch of links to any track; including links that can stream audio (Youtube, Soundcloud, audio files...) directly to our player!

= Autolink (requires an API key) =

If you don't attach links to your track manually, you can enable our *autolink* module.
It will search for remote links and attach them to your tracks automatically.

= Tracklist Importer =

Import [XSPF playlists](http://xspf.org/) using the *Tracklist Importer*.

If you have an [API key](https://github.com/gordielachance/wp-soundsystem/wiki/SoundSystem-API), you could also import playlists from various services: *Last.fm, Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, Musicbrainz, Radionomy, Hypem, 8tracks, BBC, indieshuffle, Online Radio Box, radio.fr, RadioKing, Reddit, SomaFM, Soundsgood,...*

Custom setups are also available, if you are somewhat familiar with [CSS selectors](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp).

= Player =

Our player uses of the [MediaElement.js](https://www.mediaelementjs.com) library, which is native in WordPress. It supports audio (& video) files, but also links from various services like Youtube or Soundcloud.
It has been extended with various features built on top of it, like a tracks queue or a Last.fm scrobbler.
You can customize the design of this player the way you like, and extend its functions.

= Social =

**Last.fm**
In addition of being able to scrobble on [Last.fm](https://www.last.fm/), every track favorited by a user connected to his account will also be loved on that service.

**BuddyPress**
Users profiles will get a new music section that lists the user favorite tracks, tracklists, and the ones he created.
It will also fire new *BuddyPress activity* items.

= Contribute =

WP SoundSystem is dev friendly, and has been designed to be extendable.
Wanna give a hand as developer ? Check the [Github](https://github.com/gordielachance/wp-soundsystem) repo.

= SoundSystem API =

The [SoundSystem API](https://github.com/gordielachance/wp-soundsystem/wiki/SoundSystem-API) has been developed in Ruby in parallel of this plugin.
Get extra features by registering an API key !

Some of its feature are:

* Playlist import from a lot of music services
* the Autolink module, which will get audio sources for your tracks automatically.

Those are optionals, but are nice features to a solid plugin.
Consider getting one as a nice way to support the work done –hundred of hours– , and to ensure its durability.

Since the API is independent of the plugin, it might also be used by other developers.
