Easiest Audio Player Plugin [video]
So I found this audio a while ago through one of my Google Alerts I receive for WordPress and just hadn’t gotten around to testing it or installing it, but then had a client that needed a better audio solution for their site, which of course gave me a good excuse to actually go and use what I had found (funny how that happens…. 
).
Anyways, the video will explain everything you need to know about installing this microaudio player plugin for your WordPress site. You’ll also see how I’ve created the thumbnail image and am using headspace….all in one little tutorial. I’d love some feedback in the way of comments….hope this helps!
Here’s the link to download the plugin directly:

Loved this tutorial Chick! I just came upon your site and so far, I’m loving it!
Keep up the good work for us just getting started with WordPress, thank you.
Hi David,
Thanks so much for the comment!
I really love helping people who are just getting started with WordPress…..if there’s ever a specific question you have, feel free to drop me a note!
Thanks again,
Kim
Loved this video as well but I guess my question is:
1.) How does this compare to the ease of PodPress? With podpress, you can set up podcasts and everything. Have you ever used podpress before and if so, which do you prefer?
Hi again,
I’ve installed Podpress, but haven’t used it yet!
On my list of to-do’s….but think I’ll have to give it a whirl now!
Thanks,
Kim
Thanks Kim,
Love your tutorials, always simple and to the point.
I appreciate you saving us so much time by posting such helpful information.
Now all I need is the kick-in-the-butt so I apply what I learned.
Next time I’ll share results.
Cheers, Smiles and Success,

Hi Crazy J….
(love the name…).
Thanks so much for the comment! I always try to create the tutorials from the reader’s perspective….sometimes I’m successful, sometimes I’m not!
Keep me posted with your results…I’d love to share them.
Thanks,
Kim
Excellent video tutorial, Kim. I’ve struggled with a number of different audio plugins, and this is by far the easiest!
Nina!
Thanks Nina!
Makes you wish ALL plugins were this easy, huh?
Kim
Hello Kim! Thank you for the awesome video. I learned so much. However, I can\’t get the audio player to show up.
When I click the link a little box pops up with an option to open or save it.
Here is the page that I\’m trying to place the audio on: http://www.bestspanishtutor.com/spanish-listening-exercises/spanish-questions-for-beginners/
Thank you for your time!
Hi Jessica,
I can’t really tell what’s going on from just visiting the page- if you want to send me your login or create a temporary login for me I can take a look at it for you.
From just looking at it it looks like maybe you didn’t link it? I’m guessing you did though….might be in the plugin settings also.
Let me know and I can take a look!
Thanks,
Kim
Thanks so much. I just added the player and love it. Love your site!
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the comment…it’s much appreciated.
Glad you like the site….I love that audio player.
Happy New Year!
Kim
That’s perfectly I was looking for. And more than this it is more than I had in my mind. Thanks for your share.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

Hi Kim, Thank you so much for offering to help! That’s SO nice of you! But I actually got another audio to work. I updated the plugin and waala! Those updates work like magic sometimes, and like catastophies other times! lol
I’m signing up for your newsletter to keep in touch!
Best, Jessica Ojeda
Hi Jessica,
No problem….glad you got it figured out!
I appreciate you signing up for the updates..
Thanks,
Kim
Wow, thank-you so much. I found your site by typing in “Lifestyle Theme video tutorials for wordpress.”
I just purchased the “Lifestyle” theme through StudioPress and I am a visual learner by nature. Your entire site is incredible. I will be referencing the training often, as I am in the process of designing my site.
I am very appreciative of your time in putting up this site to help others learn about wordpress through the help of the video tutorials you have made.
God Bless,
Deb
Hi Deb,
Your kind words are very appreciated!
Thanks SO much!
If there’s something you have a question about that I don’t have a tutorial about, feel free to drop me a note and I’ll see if I can help.
Thanks again-
Kim
Thanks for the tutorial.
It was interesting to see what tools you use in your backend, like headpress etc.
Do you know of a player for WMA files?
Hi Israel,
I’ve not heard of a plugin that is an wma player- you might want to look into getting software that converts it to mp3.
Thanks
Kim
I noticed that when you linked the mp3 file you checked for it to open in another window. Is that necessary for the plug-in to work?
