I would like to give my Audio Player users the option to switch on/off ‘Auto Play’.

- If turned ‘off’ the song would stop at the end, and the user would need to manually start the next track.

- If the turned ‘on’ the playlist would continue to play the next song in the playlist.

- Auto Play would be set to ‘on’ by default.

This feature would be appreciate by many.  
Thanks!

Friends, the Audio Player now includes a new **Continuous Playback** setting! 🎉

When enabled, the next track starts playing automatically after the current one ends. When disabled, the player moves to the next track but pauses playback.

> Continuous Playback is enabled by default, so existing widgets will continue to work as before unless you choose to turn it off.

Find this option in the **Settings → Player → Continuous Playback**.

Let us know how it works for you! 😊
