How it sells itself

Showcase Your Audio Content with a Fully Customizable Player Easily add an audio player to your website with the Audio Player app, letting visitors stream or download your music, podcasts, lectures, or audio shows. Designed for smooth performance and quick setup, this tool allows you to tailor the look and feel to match your brand and keep your audience engaged.

Sono lets you give your store a soundtrack without touching any code. You upload your tracks in the app, arrange them into playlists, and turn the player on from your theme editor in one click. The player follows shoppers as they browse. You decide how it looks and where it sits, from a small bar at the bottom of the screen to a spinning record that opens into a full playlist.

Key points
  • Customize titles, progress bars, and cover images to align with site’s branding.
  • Upload as many tracks as you want directly from your device.
  • Offer shuffle, loop, and volume options for a better listening experience.
  • Position the audio player anywhere on your site.
  • Site-wide playback: the player stays open and keeps playing.
  • Track details: show artwork, artist, lyrics, call-to-action buttons.
  • A look that matches your store: pick from themes or customize yourself.
