Description

The CLEVER reproduces online radio broadcasts in WordPress by reading Shoutcast and Icecast streams directly via HTML5, displaying the current track title, album artwork, and a history of the most recently played songs. Built for those who run web radios, live podcasts, or independent music stations, the plugin attaches to pages and widgets to deliver a persistent player that keeps playing while visitors browse the site.
