When using sticky player, it loads the randomly chosen mp3 when visitors come to the start page. I would like to set up the behavior so, that only metadata will be loaded when opening a site and the mp3-file starts loading first when pressing play button. Another option could be to preload nothing if this would be an easier way.
In the settings, I couldn't find an option to set this up. Is there a way to get that behaviour working?
Tx for reply: Goal would be that only songs will be loaded, people listen.
German GEMA counts every access (load) of mp3 - independent of users playing songs.
So every visit is a counted download. When preloading only metadata or not preloading song at all, the statistic will only count the listened (clicked) songs.
I hope I could explain it clearly :)
Is there a way to patch the code, so that the <audio> tag has the preload option fix like this example? <audio controls preload="none"> I wasn't able to find it out in the php files, where to do such a patch.

Hi,
Sorry I don't correctly understand what you want to achieve (or the purpose/goal of it).
We don't have a feature that loads only the metadata without the mp3 being loaded im sorry.

Sorry this is not possible to not load any mp3 if you wish to use a pre-loaded sticky player.
if you don't load sticky player, then no mp3 will be preloaded.
