Whether you are building a landing page, an artist portfolio, a wedding gallery, a travel story, or a product showcase, the plugin gives you an easy way to make galleries feel more alive and memorable. You can use it in two simple ways: * Gutenberg block for native block editor workflows. * Shortcode Builder for classic editors and third-party page builders. What you can do with Smooth Music Gallery: * Add your own images and background music in a few clicks. * Choose from ready-made gallery themes to match different styles and moods. * Add animated overlay effects and dynamic background effects for a more engaging look. * Create audio-reactive visuals that move with the music. * Adjust gallery size and slide timing to fit your layout. * Build galleries visually and generate a shortcode for any page or builder. * Use media from the WordPress Media Library or optional Smooth Bundle assets. * Optionally serve gallery frontend assets through Smooth Bundle. Perfect for creators, photographers, musicians, agencies, event sites, and anyone who wants a gallery that feels more premium than a standard slider. ### Source Code The source code for this plugin is publicly available in the repository: https://github.com/Miro0/smooth-music-gallery ### External Services Smooth Music Gallery can optionally connect to Smooth Bundle to let administrators browse sample assets in the editor. * Service: Smooth Bundle Asset Picker (`https://cdn.smoothbundle.com`) * Purpose: Browse and select optional sample image/audio files. * Trigger: Requests are sent only when an administrator selects the **Smooth Bundle assets** source and opens the picker dialog. * Data sent: Standard browser request data (IP address, user agent, referrer) and picker query parameters (for example file type, project slug, version). * Frontend behavior: If a gallery uses external Smooth Bundle URLs, visitor browsers request those media files directly from Smooth Bundle. * Service: Smooth Bundle Gallery Asset Delivery (`https://music-gallery.smoothbundle. com`) * Purpose: Optional delivery of this plugin’s frontend gallery scripts/styles. * Trigger: Requests are sent only when an administrator enables **Serve gallery assets via Smooth Bundle** in plugin settings. * Data sent: Standard browser request data (IP address, user agent, referrer) when the frontend gallery loads those assets. * Terms of Service: `https://smoothbundle.com/terms` * Privacy Policy: `https://smoothbundle.com/privacy` The external service is optional. The plugin works without it by using only the WordPress Media Library. ## Screenshots [⌊Gutenberg editor sidebar with gallery controls.⌉⌊Gutenberg editor sidebar with gallery controls.⌉[ Gutenberg editor sidebar with gallery controls.
