“Folder full of MP3s” will add a list of playable MP3′s to your sidebar. People with Javascript eneabled can click on the MP3 name and it will start playing in the browser.

Upload MP3′s to a folder on your server. Tell the plugin where the folder is. Add the widget to your sidebar. Voila, you have a playable list of MP3′s in your sidebar. Add and remove MP3′s whenever you want.

The plugin uses the amazing SoundManager2 Javascript – http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/ – refer to that site for styling).

Underscores in your file names will be replaced by spaces to make them read nicely. So “Artist_name-name_of_track.mp3″ will display as “Artist name-name of track”.

Download the zip file

1. Upload the `folder-full-of-mp3s` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress. `Folder full of MP3s` now appears in your widgets.
3. Create a folder for your MP3′s on your server. For example, in the same folder as your index.php (the root of your wordpress installation), create a folder call `sound`. Upload some MP3′s to the folder.
4. Drag the `Folder full of MP3s` widget to your sidebar, and configure it – give it a title, and tell it where your folder of MP3′s is. If your folder is not in your web root then you need to include the path from your webroot. (For example, if you have your wordpress installed in a folder called `blog`, and you created a folder called `mp3s` in `blog`, then enter your folder as `blog/mp3s`).
