I would like to have a search bar on each page of my website that searches all my playlists, which are located on various pages. The search result should be specific tracks instead of a playlist. Is this possible? Some of my playlists are extremely long, so it isn't useful for the search result to be the whole playlist.
This would only be possible if you set 1 track per posts.
In fact, having only 1 track per posts is the correct way when you want to search or filters different tracks.
Then, to organize them per playlist, you could just assign your posts different specific categories, and create players that list specific categories. Thats how you would built a playlist (by using categories, instead of having 1 post with multiple tracks).
That sounds like a good solution. Wow, I really wish I had realized this before creating all my playlists! How does the sticky player at the bottom of the page work with such a setup?
The player will play tracks that are set in the player widgets. If the player widgets contains 50 different tracks, the sticky player when launching, will loads up with the 50 tracks.
One other thing, would I still use Lazy Load in such a setup? If so, how do I check if Lazy Load is activated on my site. I looked at the instructions in the help pages, but when I went to Audio Player> Style> Pagination, I don't see the option for Lazy Load. Thanks!
Lazyload is only available as an option when your player's source set to All Posts / Categories. If your player's source is not set to All Posts/Categories, the option to enabled Lazyload in Audio Player > Style > Pagination wont be displayed (also, make sure that pagination is enabled).
We do have a bulk import tool in WP-Admin > MP3 Player > Tools > Playlist Bulk Importer. You can import/create playlist in bulk by choosing your mp3 from your media library, or you can also upload a CSV files to create your playlist in bulk as well.

This is how we do it on our Audience Templates here: https://templates.sonaar.io/audience/

Thanks so much. Is there a bulk export/import option for playlists? I have many playlists with over 100 tracks.
We do have a bulk import tool in WP-Admin > MP3 Player > Tools > Playlist Bulk Importer. You can import/create playlist in bulk by choosing your mp3 from your media library, or you can also upload a CSV files to create your playlist in bulk as well.
