It is possible to generate the player by coding entering the player and items shortcodes into the page's content:

	[cpm-player skin="ball-skin" width="100%" playlist="true" type="audio"]
	[cpm-item file="http://www.wp.local/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/1.mp3"]Audio 1[/cpm-item]
	[cpm-item file="http://www.wp.local/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/2.mp3"]Audio 2[/cpm-item]
	[cpm-item file="http://www.wp.local/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/3.mp3"]Audio 3[/cpm-item]
	[/cpm-player]

To generate the player loading the audio files from the "/wp-content/uploads/2020" directory:

	[cpm-player skin="ball-skin" width="100%" playlist="true" type="audio" dir="2020" /]

The player can load the audio files indicating the directory only. It allows you to add new files to the directory or delete the existing ones, and the player will update the playlist dynamically.
