MrTux Music Collection Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
MrTux Music Collection is a complete WordPress plugin that lets administrators manage a collection of audio tracks through a dedicated control panel and expose them on the public site via a shortcode with a modern, responsive audio player. It is free and fully functional on its own — no purchase required.
Features:
- Custom Post Type
music_trackwith title, description, artist, album, cover image, and audio file upload via the native WordPress media uploader. - Custom admin list table with bulk actions (publish, draft, delete), single row actions, search and pagination.
- Shortcode
[music_tracks]with parameters:limit,orderby,order,artist,show_cover,show_share,layout. - Modern HTML5 audio player powered by Plyr with one-at-a-time playback (playing a new track automatically pauses the others).
- Automatic duration detection: as soon as the audio file is selected in the editor, the browser computes the duration and persists it via AJAX.
- Share buttons for WhatsApp and Instagram on every track (Web Share API + configurable Instagram profile fallback).
- Track categories with hierarchy support and grouped display.
- Clean, conditional asset loading: CSS/JS are enqueued only on pages where the shortcode is present.
- Fully internationalized, .pot file included.
- WPCS-compliant code, with nonces, capability checks and proper sanitization/escaping everywhere.
The Pro edition
For creators who need more, MrTux Music Collection Pro adds:
- Continuous playlist player: a single global player with a visible queue that keeps playing the next track automatically.
- Canvas waveform progress bar for every track, with click-to-seek.
- One-click download buttons for every track.
- Dedicated Pro settings page (autoplay, download defaults).
MrTux Music Collection Pro is a separate add-on, installed alongside this free plugin, available at https://wpforge.site/music-tracks-pro. This free version is complete on its own and does not require any purchase.
How to upgrade
- Visit https://wpforge.site/music-tracks-pro and download the Pro add-on.
- Upload it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Keep both plugins active: the Pro features appear automatically (e.g. use
[music_tracks layout="playlist"]).
