I probably searched through the entire web but couldn't find any help on this. Before I ask the question I must mention that I am a complete novice in web development.

I went through a lot of websites that enable you to play audio through stratus after clicking on a thumbnail. Although websites like indieshuffle.com and themusicninja do not use stratus, I was wondering how they get their photos to play songs in their audio players.

Similarly, I don't want my thumbnails to link to the post but instead I want people to play the corresponding soundcloud track after clicking on the thumbnail. Also, if it is possible to have play/pause buttons on the thumbnails it will be great.

Of course, I have ajax and stratus as well as the full width audio player installed as plugins.

I am guessing this has to do with embedding the shortcode for the track somewhere in the image.

Please help!!!

since you are complete new your best bet here is an album plugin or something that will let you attach an image and have a mp3 file to relate to, and be displayed without much knowledge in coding.

  • Yeah I understand. Now, although I am a novice I still understand coding. I don't think there is any plugin like that. Besides, I don't want to upload mp3s. The Yahoo Webplayer is great for uploading MP3s. I want to use soundcloud URL's instead. I know a lot of websites are able to do that. – Priya Oct 10 '13 at 17:31
  • there are plugin for soundclouds too, but if you want to dive into coding then - easiest way to do this is have a custom template to display special post category that you made and just pull post thumb and content and create a fast album gallery yourself. – teemo Oct 10 '13 at 18:58
