CONFIGURATION

1. In order to create a new instance of WavePlayer, simply create or edit the Post or the Page where you want to add the WavePlayer and click on the Add Media button, right above the Visual Editor toolbars.
2. In the left sidebar, together with all the other elements WordPress allows you to create, you will find a menu to create a new instance of WavePlayer. Click on Create Waveplayer.

4. When you are done selecting the tracks you want to include in this instance of Waveplayer, click on the Create a new waveplayer button.
5. While you are editing the current playlist, you can still add more tracks you might have forgotten, simply clicking on the Add to Waveplayer menu.
6. If you want to reorder the selected tracks, you simply have to drag and drop their thumbnails.
7. If you like so, you can reverse the current order of the tracks, clicking on the Reverse order button. Since tracks are added by default in their uploaded order, this might be useful in case you uploaded an ordered list of files, e.g. numbered tracks from a certain album.

9. You can even rename each track without leaving this editor.

13. You can alter the current instance, adding or removing tracks and changing the current options. When you are done with the changes, click on the Update Waveplayer button. The instance currently selected will change accordingly.
