WPBakery Addon – HTML5 Radio Player

Running a radio stream on a WordPress site usually means piecing together an audio player and a way to show what is playing. This addon puts the player inside WPBakery Page Builder, so you add it like any other element. It connects to Shoutcast and Icecast streams and handles MP3 streams, plus AAC streams on browsers that support them.

After you enter your stream URL, the player picks up the radio name, categories and current song details by itself. Artist photos are fetched from the musicbrainz.org API and wikimedia/wikidata databases. It is built with HTML5, CSS and JS, adapts to different screen sizes and works on iOS and Android. Radio stations, DJs and audio-focused sites are the natural fit.

Features

• Simple stream setup: Enter your radio stream URL and the player displays the radio name, categories, current song and artist photo without further configuration.
• Shoutcast and Icecast support: Works with both common streaming protocols, handling MP3 streams and selected AAC streams on browsers that support them.
• Artist photo display: Fetches photos of the current singer from the musicbrainz.org API and wikimedia/wikidata databases and shows them alongside the song information.
• Responsive layout: The player fits desktop, tablet and phone screens. An option lets you turn responsiveness off for sites that use a fixed layout.
• iOS and Android playback: Supports both major mobile operating systems, so listeners can keep streaming on a smartphone or tablet.
• Layout and style options: Several layouts and styles let you match the player to your site's design and branding.
• Built with HTML5, CSS and JS: The player is made from standard web technologies, which keeps it light and avoids relying on extra audio software.
• WPBakery Page Builder integration: Add and customize the player directly inside the page builder you already use, within your normal editing workflow.
