TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Cue is for WordPress site owners and musicians who want to publish audio playlists for music, podcasts, sermons, or voice-over samples. It solves the hassle of manually preparing playlist files by letting users upload tracks through the WordPress Media Manager and auto-filling title, artist, and length from file metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cue by AudioTheme.com

Add a show_playlist attribute to your [cue] shortcode and set the value to 0. Something like this should do it: [cue id="1" show_playlist="0"]

We've heard reports that this may happen around 70 tracks on some hosts, but it could occur with fewer tracks. First off, 70 tracks seems a bit excessive and may introduce other performance issues, so we recommend limiting the tracks to a more reasonable number. The root cause of this is a PHP configuration setting called max_input_vars, which is typically set to 1000 by default. You will most likely need to contact your host to increase that limit if you need to save more tracks.

Unfortunately, it's fairly common for plugins to introduce issues that may prevent other plugins from functioning correctly. If you're not seeing the Add Tracks button on the Edit Playlist screen, determine if there's a conflict with another plugin first. Cue also requires JavaScript to be enabled in your browser, so be sure it's not disabled.

Anything that's publicly visible online can be downloaded or recorded, so it's not really possible to protect your audio files. Your best bet is to upload a lower quality file for online streaming. This also has the benefit of reducing bandwidth on mobile devices and making the audio load more quickly on slower networks.

Browsers, devices, and platforms have varying levels of support for different audio formats, but at this time, MP3 provides the best compatibility across platforms. Cue uses the MediaElement.js library bundled with WordPress, which attempts to smooth out inconsistencies across browsers, so you may have some success with other formats like AAC or Ogg. Mozilla Developer Network maintains a browser compatibility chart here.

No. It's for your own good. And the good of humanity. Aside from that, mobile platforms like iOS and Android make it impossible to start playing audio automatically.

Not at this time. SoundCloud URLs don't point directly at audio files, so support would require integrating with their API and complying with their attribution and branding requirements. If there is enough demand, we might consider adding support in a future release.
