## Descripció

The **DS Custom Audio Player** provides a lightweight, flexible and accessible alternative
to the default WordPress audio player. It is designed for bloggers, podcasters and
musicians who want more control over the look and functionality of their audio embeds
without functionality overkill. It’s still just a simple player.

Comes with Language files for German, French, Spanish and Italian WordPress Installations

### Features

 * Customizable player width and colors (buttons, icons, background)
 * Normal, compact and super compact view modes
 * Metadata display (Artist – Title) read directly from audio files (MP3, OGG, FLAC,
   M4A, AAC)
 * Optional volume control with instant mute/unmute
 * Optional download button (filename based on metadata or original file name)
 * Optional playback speed button (cycles through 1x / 1.5x / 2x)
 * Optional heading text displayed above the player (centered, italic, in theme 
   font)
 * Responsive design that works on desktop and mobile devices
 * Lightweight: no external libraries required
 * Accessibility-friendly controls (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation)
 * Works with both **Gutenberg (Block Editor)** and the **Classic Editor**

This plugin uses the text domain `ds-custom-audio-player`.

### Shortcode Usage

Basic example:

[dscap_audio src=»https://example.com/audio/song.mp3″]

### Available attributes (override global defaults):

 * `src` – **required**, URL to the audio file.
 * `width` – CSS value, e.g. `400px` or `100%`.
 * `color` – Button background color, e.g. `#0073e6`.
 * `bg` – Player background color.
 * `icon` – SVG icon color, e.g. `#ffffff`.
 * `compact` – `0` = normal view incl. Metadata, `1` = compact view, `2` = super
   compact view
 * `show_volume` – `1` = show volume control, `0` = hide.
 * `show_download` – `1` = show download button, `0` = hide.
 * `show_speed` – `1` = show playback speed button, `0` = hide.
 * `heading` – optional heading text displayed above the player (max. 50 characters).
 * `show_heading` – `1` = show heading, `0` = hide.
 * `align` – alignment: `left`, `center`, or `right`.

Example with overrides:

[dscap_audio src=»https://example.com/audio/podcast.mp3
 » width=»100%» color=»#
ff0000″ icon=»#000000″ compact=»1″ show_download=»0″ align=»center»]
