Descripción
This plugin is used to present audio files, typically two versions of the same audio (for instance, an unmixed, raw version and the final mixed version of a song), in a time synchronized manner: by switching seamlessly between files when the user presses the respective button. (And since version 3 you can compare up to three files in the full version!)
Finally a direct A/B comparison is possible on your website! You can showcase as many files on one page as you like, completely independent from each other.
All this with a simple shortcode!
Control the site wide design and behaviour from central settings, but each Audio Comparison Lite instance can be configured independently! And with the help of special CSS classes you can easily adjust to your own visual style.
All about the shortcode usage and the CSS classes is in the Audio Comparison Lite settings, right where you need it.
Full Version
If you want
- to avoid playing two sounds at the same time, and
- to get rid of the play button and/or the accompanying text output,
- automatic styling of your buttons without manual CSS work including themes,
- to compare THREE files time-synchronized,
- or just use Audio Comparison as a cool one button Audio Player
consider buying the full version. For the price of two beers (discounted license) you get all of the above and more, and perpetual licenses are also available!

Instalación
If not installing directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory:
- Download and unzip to your wp-content/plugins directory
- Alternatively, just upload the zip file via the WordPress plugins UI
After uploading, do the following:
- Activate the plugin via WordPress Admin
- Check and change Audio Comparison Lite’s setting page
- Include the shortcode
[audiocomparisonlite]
on your page or post (if using Blocks, use the Shortcode or HTML block).
The minimal shortcode looks like this:
[audiocomparisonlite
file_a="PATH/TO/A.MP3"
file_b="PATH/TO/B.MP3"]
Replace PATH/TO/A.MP3
and PATH/TO/B.MP3
with your own files. We recommend WAV or MP3.
Central settings, more shortcode options, and CSS guidelines can be found in the settings.
If there are multiple instances of Audio Comparison Lite on the same page, they all act independently. If you want automatic interaction (i.e. stop if another instance starts playing) and more styling options (get rid of the Play/Stop button for instance), then the full version at https://audiocomparison.kaedinger.de/ is for you.
