How to setup playlist section or add MP3 and audio files?

Add new MP3 tracks & create new albums and playlists #

Step 1 – Go to WP-Admin > Playlist> Add New Enter the title of your album and an optional description.

Step 2 – Make sure to set your album cover as the featured image: http://d.pr/i/19Lv4 

Step 3 – Fill the text fields under Album Infos with your own content.

Step 4 – Upload your MP3 for each track you have for that album. Only MP3 files are allowed. See screenshot: https://d.pr/i/TaIkod

Step 5 – Save it.

Select which playlist to play in the Sticky Audio Player #

Step 1 – Go to WP-Admin > Page > Edit your homepage (by clicking Edit — not Edit with Elementor)

Step 2 – Select which playlist to be displayed in the sticky audio player, by selecting it in the Music Player meta box. see screenshot: https://d.pr/i/qTaYU2

Launch the player from a Slider Revolution button #

We sometimes use a “Play” or “Listen Now” button in the big banner on the homepage. The play button needs to be linked to a playlist.

Step 1 – To tell Slider Revolution which playlist you want to use in the sticky audio player when you click on the button, go to wp-admin > Slider Revolution and edit the slide.

Step 2 – Select the button layer and go to the action tab. http://d.pr/i/kqmWfe

Step 3 – The code should be something like: 

IRON.sonaar.player.setPlayer({ id:"1218", title:"Playlist Title" });

To change the playlist, enter your own playlist ID instead of 1218 above. The playlist ID is your playlist post id that can be found by going to wp-admin > playlist. See screenshot: https://d.pr/i/8f2US2

Step 4 – In addition, you can change the label of your playlist title by changing the Title in the code:

IRON.sonaar.player.setPlayer({ id:"1218", title:"Playlist Title" });

Step 5 – You can reach a specific track with the “trackid” parameter and a integer value. 
code:

IRON.sonaar.player.setPlayer({ id:"1218", trackid:2 });

Add an audio player to a page #

Step 1 – Go to WP-Admin > Pages and edit the page of your choice with Elementor. (Edit with Elementor button)

Step 2 – Locate the Sonaar Music Player Widget in the Elementor Widgets: https://d.pr/i/hv6G0c

Step 2 – Add a new element called Essential Grid and select the pre-defined grid you have previously imported with the demo. http://d.pr/i/LPp6ZH 

Step 3 – Save your page.
