could you maybe help with the following (w)issue: I'm using the sonaar "studio recording" template for my website. On the "albums" page (url see above) there's a nice slider carussell with the album covers, which I really like. When you click on the "Play" Icon, the playlist behind it starts, and you can also click on the hamburger icon next to the player controls in the footer ... which opens the complete playlist. So that's nice, BUT (now!) I'd like to integrate some text (price & edition info) directly into that particular album ... so that this text can be seen either immediately when you click on the "Play" icon of the album, or at least when you open the playlist in the footer. I tried a lot but can't solve this problem. Could you look into a way to tell the revolution slider engine (template) to add text to the very item of one particular slide?
Thank you, Alexandre, for your answer. Unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem. The point is, that I'm
• a) selling/promoting albums (not single tracks) and • b) selling them as hard copies ... i.e. on CD or vinyl.
That's why it would be crucial to be able to add album information (like "limited edition with extra poster etc.). So I need a possiblility to add free text either to the playlist footer whenever an album is clicked on (see screenshot 1 and https://museclix.de/music/) or on the corresponding album page (see screenshot2 and https://museclix.de/albums/chansons/ .
Unfortunately, it's not feasible to include free text in the sticky player. However, we might be able to incorporate text into the music slider. Would this solution meet your requirements?
I comprehend that the solution I suggested regarding the track link was not suitable for you because you wanted to display more details than just the price. However, you mentioned that it didn't solve your issue because you need to sell hard copies. I'm not sure what's making you believe that you can't sell hard copies. You can still can can.
Additionally, you mentioned that you want to sell the entire album, not just individual tracks. Nevertheless, my suggestion is to utilize the track link button because it's visible here. I believe it's an effective workaround for you. You can set the same link for every track, which leads to the product page of the ALBUM with all the information that you want to share.
ok, I see your point with the track link more clearly now. However this would be a workaround solution. If you really could find a way to incorporate text into the music slider, that would be exactly what I was looking for.
Here how to display more info through the slider. Go to wp-admin>slider revolution Edit the Music Slider Add a new "text" Layer Select "Meta" as the Layer content Click on the "post" tab And now you see many option you can select as the post content or excerpt. A think the option you want is the custom meta tag but you have to create a custom field first. Please watch this video about how to create a custom field https://drops.sonaar.io/v/7rd0bP And now how to display this field in the slider https://drops.sonaar.io/v/BCtkD7
now that's cool ... exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
Now one more point: From the new text layer in the slide I'd like to redirect the user to the corresponding album page. I found the "action" tab in slider revolution, but what kind of link will I have to enter in order to skip to the correct album page of each of the slider items?
And second point (sorry ;-): What can I do to incorporate the same playlist info text into the proper album (playlist) page (not in the music slider)?
Hi Peter, Use {{link}} as the url in the action panel. See here
To custom the single playlist template you can do it through the child theme if you have php knowledge or you can use Elementor Pro to design your own template through the elementor editor. But in both case we are going beyond the scope of our support.

Hi Peter,
You should add a "track link" for each track and label it with its corresponding price.
See here and here
