Hey guys,

 

Im in the middle of creating a theme and I want to add audio post formats to it.

 

The part in struggling with is outputting an audio player and wanted to know the best way to do it without using a plugin.

 

Im thinking about using a custom audio short-code that accepts a src attribute and then displays the player.Is there a better/easier way?

I thinks your way is right, no Other way to put audio post

http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats - This is a lot more enhanced in version 3.6.

 

I haven't used them before, but im guessing you can just use the audio post format, attach an audio file and output it in your players src attribute.
