## Description

**[Click here for a live demo](https://joscor.com/wordpress-ab-audio-sync/)**

The A/B Audio Sync plugin for WordPress allows developers to queue two songs (WAV,

MP3, any format the web browser can handle) and play one at a time, with a toggle
switch between them. This gives users the ability to switch tracks quickly, without
losing the track time, to hear differences in audio tracks.

This is great for demonstrating audio enhancement technology or production/post-
production
 mixes or even the differences between audio format quality.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin and unzip to your wp-content/plugins directory
 2. Alternatively, just upload the zip file via the WordPress plugins UI
 3. Activate plugin via WordPress admin
 4. Include the following elements on your page or post
 5.  
     [](https://uz.wordpress.org/plugins/ab-audio-sync/PATH_TO_AUDIO_A?output_format=md)
    [](https://uz.wordpress.org/plugins/ab-audio-sync/PATH_TO_AUDIO_B?output_format=md)
    Play
 6.  
     [](https://uz.wordpress.org/plugins/ab-audio-sync/PATH_TO_AUDIO_A?output_format=md)
    [](https://uz.wordpress.org/plugins/ab-audio-sync/PATH_TO_AUDIO_B?output_format=md)
    Play Audio A Audio B

Replace _PATH\_TO\_AUDIO\_A_ and _PATH\_TO\_AUDIO\_B_, of course with your own files.
File type will be dependent on browser support.
 This has been tested with MP3 and
WAV audio files with no issues on Google Chrome.

The plugin looks for HTML objects with the class of _audio-sync-group_ as its starting
point.
 From there, it will look for two link (a) or audio elements that have the
class _audio-sync-a_ or _audio-sync-b_. There can be only one of each within an 
audio group. There must also be _audio-btn-sync-play_ button to control play / stop.

There can be multiple audio groups on the same page and they will all act independently
from eachother. This is
 ideal for a «showcase» type of page with many A/B comparisons
happening in one view.

Apple iOS mobile users – Web Audio API is not fully, nor correctly, implemented 
in iPhone devices. If you experience
 issues with this plugin, please enable debug
logging (see support forum sticky thread) and open a ticket.
