tPlayer - Audio Player for WordPress 1.2.1.6

**tPlayer** is a highly customizable, jQuery-based audio player for WordPress that balances a sleek, modern design with powerful backend features. It is frequently used by musicians, podcasters, and radio stations who want a responsive "pro-grade" listening experience without heavy performance bloat.

### 🚀 Key Features & Customization 

* **Shoutcast & Icecast Support:** One of the few players that handles live radio streams perfectly, including the ability to display "Now Playing" metadata (Song Title, Artist, and Album Cover). 
* **Deep Customization:** Includes over **70+ options** for styling. You can choose between "Dark" and "Light" skins or build a custom color scheme to match your brand.

* **Responsive & Mobile-Ready:** Features a specific layout for mobile devices to ensure touch controls (play/pause/seek) work smoothly on iOS and Android. 
* **Social Sharing:** Built-in options for users to share the player or specific tracks directly to social media or embed the player onto their own websites. 
* **Playlist Management:** Supports searchable playlists, autoplay, and shuffle functions. You can also choose to hide or show the playlist by default.

### ⚖️ Is it Right for You? 

* **Pros:** Excellent for **Radio Stations** due to robust Shoutcast/Icecast support. It offers a much more "professional" aesthetic than the standard WordPress audio block. 
* **Cons:** The interface can be slightly complex for beginners because of the sheer number of settings. If you only need to play a single podcast episode, a simpler tool like *Compact WP Audio Player* might be faster. 

> **⚠️ Security Note:** Ensure you are using the latest version (**v1.1.5 or higher**), as older versions were flagged for minor cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities which have since been patched by the developer.
