HTML5 Audio Player is a WordPress plugin that gives you a fully customizable audio experience with color-scheme control, mobile compatibility, and auto-generated playlists from folders.

Description
HTML5 Audio Player is a WordPress plugin that lets you embed a fully customizable audio experience with the control you need over playback elements and styling. Instead of being locked to a single skin, you can adjust colors for controllers, timers, seekbars, titles, and playlist sections to match your site.
It also helps solve common media needs by creating playlists automatically from folders of MP3 files and by allowing quick embeds through shortcode parameters. Built for mobile compatibility across iOS and Android, it supports multiple players per page, so you can reuse the same design pattern throughout your site.
