Description
With the traditional MP3 Player, you need to manually inject your MP3's url into the html code. This also means you need an individual code block for each song you want to play.
This is very tedious, and frankly, too complicated for less advanced users. So I've expanded upon the original code, and made it possible to dynamically play songs as specified in the URL:
Code
[[include :snippets:mp3
|URL=The link to your MP3 file goes here
]]
To make the player automatically start playing when the page loads, just add an |autoplay= variable, and specify it to be true. For example:
[[include :snippets:mp3
|URL=http://squark.wdfiles.com/local--files/dev:8/1.mp3
|autoplay=Yes
]]
The autoplay variable accepts both “true” and “yes” inputs

Excellent, just what I was looking for and it works like a charm. Thank you kind sir.
Is there a way to make this repeat?

Dear amazing coder who makes like easier for us
I have a request - if you can, can you make the left hand side speaker symbol to control volume when music is played? I saw this feature in other blogging sites and was hoping it would make its way here.
thank you
It would help if you could link to a blog that uses the type of mp3 player you want…

here is one

(always wanting more) I can't seem to be able to put this MP3 Player inside a wiki table cell. E.G.
The use case is: I have a wikidot page with 15 songs (http://churchladies.wikidot.com) and I would like to make a table with 2 columns (the song name and the player widget).
Nevermind … It works if you use the [[table]] … [[/table]] syntax. So it's perfect!
The reason for that is because it's an include. They need to be on their own line.
With the table syntax, my guess is that this doesn't work:
but this does:
… for the same reason as I mentioned above.
So if you run into problems, just make sure it's on it's own line and it should work.
