How the Pro version of the Music Player for WooCommerce protect the audio files?
If the “Protect the file” checkbox was ticked in the product’s page, and was entered an integer number through the attribute: “Percent of audio used for protected playbacks”, the plugin will create a truncated copy of the audio files for selling (or the audio files for demo) into the “/wp-content/plugins/wcmp” directory, to be used as demo. The sizes of the audio files for demo are a percentage of the sizes of the original files (the integer number entered in the player’s settings). So, the users cannot access to the original audio files, from the public pages of the products.
Music Player for WooCommerce – Playlist Widget
The widget allows to include a playlist on sidebars, with the downloadable files associated to all products with the music player enabled, or for only some of the products.
The widget settings:
- Title: the title of the widget on sidebar.
- Products IDs: enter the ids of products to include in the playlist, separated by comma, or the * symbol to include all products.
- Playlist layout: select between the new playlist layout and the original one.
- Player layout: select the layout of music players (the widget uses only the play/pause control)
- Preload: to decide if preload the audio files, their metadata, or don’t preload nothing at all. This attribute has a global scope, and will modify the default settings.
- Play all: play all players in the page (one after the other). This attribute has a global scope, and will modify the default settings.
- Highlight the current product: if the checkbox is ticked, and the user is in the page of a product, and it is included in the playlist, the corresponding item would be highlighted in the playlist.
- Continue playing after navigate: if the checkbox is ticked, and there is a song playing when navigates, the player will continue playing after loading the webpage, in the same position.
Note: In mobiles devices where the direct action of user is required for playing audios and videos, the plugin cannot start playing dynamically.

-
A: Verify that the theme used in your website, includes the function wp_footer(); in the template file “footer.php” or the template file “index.php”
-
A: Go to the plugins section in WordPress, deactivate the free version of Music Player for WooCommerce, and delete it ( Don’t worry, this process don’t modify players configured with the free version of the plugin), and finally install and activate the premium version of plugin.
-
Q: Can be modified the size of audio files played in secure mode?
-
