HOW IT WORKS
You can upload audio files to listings yourself or allow users to do so from the front end. The combination of BePro Listings and its audio addon accepts several audio files. Once uploaded, the files are available for playback on the listings page.
Its important to note that when uploading the files, you are also able to upload other details like, description, images, categories, and a title. These help you to create a whole page of information which includes the audio files. This is a great way to feature an album or particular single.
Once the user visits the listing page, they are able to play the audio file. The plugin will try to feed the audio file to the user using an html5 player. If this is unsuccessful, as expected with older browsers, the plugin will then try to use a flash player. This combination of features will accommodate the vast majority of browsers available today.
You want to follow our installation instructions. They will help you to setup a page for users to search and find various listings that are important to them. When they find a listing, they are able to go to a designated page with all various details, including the audio files in their own tab
