See every featureAudio Sample Player adds a theme block with a simple audio player to your product pages. The sample URL comes from a product metafield, so every product can have its own sample, and a fallback URL covers products without one. The player uses the browser's native audio element, which keeps it fast and accessible. Labels, colors and alignment are configurable in the theme editor. No customer data is collected.
Sonic Preview embeds professional audio players directly into your product pages, allowing customers to listen to audio content before making a purchase. The app automatically generates visual waveform displays that help customers assess audio quality and make confident buying decisions.
