[amazon_mp3_clips]
The Amazon MP3 Clips Widget enables you to render a preview player that will play 30 second clips of various songs. Amazon provides you with the option to specify specific MP3s (by providing their ASINs), Bestsellers, or to include those matching the results of your specified keywords.
Amazon MP3 Clips ShortCode
The Amazon MP3 Clips Widget can be inserted into your website’s posts and comments through the use of the amazon_mp3_clips ShortCode.
[amazon_mp3_clips widget_type="Bestsellers" title="Bestselling Songs"]
The ShortCode interface fully supports all widget options that are defined in the properties section.
Amazon Widget PHP API
When developing the plugin we felt that it was necessary to enable users full flexibility in where they want to place the Amazon Widgets. For this purpose the AmazonWidget class was created that exposes the static MP3Clips method that can be used to output an Amazon MP3 Clips Widget within the php code of your WordPress Theme. The MP3Clips method like all methods in the API take an associated array of supported properties as it’s only parameter. To make things easier it allows you to use either the Amazon or ShortCode property name.
AmazonWidget::MP3Clips( array( "WidgetType" => "Bestsellers", "title" => "What I've been listening too lately" ) );

Hi,
I just tried out your Amazon Plugin and used the MP3 Clips Widget! This is really awesome and simple. But one thing I could not get to work. The album is always (ASIN-Type) in the wrong order with or without the shuffle tracks option:
[amazon_mp3_clips widget_type=”ASINList” width=”250″ height=”250″ title=”” market_place=”DE” shuffle_tracks=”False” max_results=”” asin=”B004ZR8D5S” /]
Cheers,
Daniel
