What’s new in Lono - Responsive HTML5 Audio Player With Playlist 1.3.2
Version 1.3.2 · May 2, 2023
Latest
What it does
Adding audio to a website often means settling for the browser's default player, which looks different everywhere and rarely fits a site's design. This plugin gives you a consistent player built with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript that adapts to desktops, tablets and phones. It suits music portfolios, podcast sites and any project where visitors need to play tracks directly on the page.
You choose between two display modes. The full mode shows a playlist so listeners can move between multiple tracks, while the minimal mode drops the playlist for a compact player. Color settings cover the background, sliders, timers, song titles, playlist fonts and item separators. Black and white control buttons are included, along with PSD files if you want to redesign them, and documentation explains setup and customization.
Best for
- Musicians and bands sharing tracks on their websites
- Podcasters who want an on-page episode player
- Portfolio sites that feature audio work
Features
Responsive player layout
The player adjusts to desktops, tablets and mobile screens, so visitors get a usable audio interface on whatever device they use to browse your site.
Two display modes
Run it as a full audio player with a playlist for multiple tracks, or switch to a minimal player without the playlist for a cleaner, smaller footprint.
Color customization
Change the colors of the player background, volume slider, timers, song titles, playlist fonts and playlist item separators to match your branding without writing code.
Prebuilt control buttons
Play, pause, next and previous buttons come in black and white versions, and PSD files are included so you can edit the control graphics yourself.
Playlist with styled items
Add multiple tracks to a playlist with distinct item separators and fonts, giving listeners an easy way to browse and pick songs or audio files.
Volume and seekbar sliders
Listeners can adjust the volume and jump to any point within a track using slider controls built into the player.
Timer and buffer indicators
A timer shows playback progress in real time, and a buffer indicator lets listeners see how much of the track has loaded.
