Top WordPress Audio and Video Plugins of 2019

WordPress audio and video plugins are essential if you are looking to add video and audio players to your website. In this post, I’ll share some of my favorites for 2019—I’ve picked plugins that have features that are missing from many of the other plugins available. 

WordPress Audio Player Plugins

1. MP3 Sticky Player

This MP3 player is incredibly powerful. The plugin contains a customizable and responsive MP3 player that can be added to any webpage and that runs on all major browsers. 

Most web players only allow you to listen to audio when you are on a specific page, but MP3 sticky player is a pop-up player that opens in a separate window, allowing you to browse the web while listening. 

And it’s not just for MP3s—this player can display images and YouTube videos.

Here are a few of this plugin’s great features:

  • custom post types support
  • unlimited playlists and unlimited number of tracks per playlist
  • load playlists via XML, HTML, YouTube, and podcasts
