Media Downloader

Beschrijving

Note: Updating from versions prior to 0.3 requires reactivating!

Media Downloader plugin lists MP3 files from a folder through the [mediadownloader] shortcode. It reads MP3 information directly from the files. It also can try to get rid of stupid content blockers (mainly corporatives), changing all links to .MP3 files into some download URL without the string “MP3”.

FAQ

How should I configure it? Where should I throw my MP3 files? How do I use this thing? What’s the smart tag syntax?

An example may help… Say you have a folder called “music” under your root folder, and for its time it has some subfolders, as, “Beethoven”, “Mozart”, “Bach” and “Haendel”.

First of all, you should configure Media Downloader by typing “music” in the “MP3 Folder” field, on settings page (and then clicking on “Update Options”, for sure).

That done, you can edit a post talking ‘bout Johann Sebastian Bach and insert anywhere on it the shortcode, [mediadownloader folder=”Bach”]. Media Downloader will create a list of all files under the “music/Bach” directory. This is actually very simple. 😉

(The [mediadownloader] shortcode accepts several parameters. You can learn more about them in plugin’s settings page.)

Download link open another window. How can I make it start downloading in the current window?

This is an excellent plugin I have been using for some time. If you want something that does the retrieval of tags in a simple and direct way, with “Play” and “Download” buttons, then this is what you need.

Over all this is a great plugin to easily generate a download list but searching for files is unforunately not possible! For media files like mp3 it would also be great to add the ability to show the duration of a file in list.
