 * Hello,
 * I was wondering if anyone knows an audio player plugin out there that will allow
   me create a music playlist in the background, and allow it to play automatically
   when the page or pages open. I would also like the functionality to shuffle the
   playlist, and hid/show the start/stop button. The plugin would be very similar
   to going to a bar and listening to a jukebox play music all day.

 * You can do this in core if your audio files are being stored on your server :

 * However, I would recommend using a cloud service such as SoundCloud or Spotify
   and then embed the audio.

 * Thank you for the information. I was wondering if there is a way to embed my 
   playlist using Google Play music instead of Spotify as I already have a subscription
   with Google Play Muisic

 * No, you can’t do this with Google Play playlists.

 * I have created the play, but when I attempt to generate the embed code from the
   below website the iframe code will not generate. I have provided my playlist 
   code. Again thank you in advance for your help

 * I was able to get it embedded correctly, but is there a way to shrink the player
   and add autoplay code to the iframe code so when the player opens it starts automatically.
   I have done my research before asking you this and have come up empty

 * I’m no expert, you should ask in the Spotify forums.
    I took a quick look at 
   their API and didn’t see any sort of endpoint to kick off auotplay from a URI.
 * Looks like there is from their SDK tho :

 * But ya, find a Spotify forum to ask I would say.
