This feature requires the Pro version of the PublishPress Checklists plugin.

With the [PublishPress Checklists](https://publishpress.com/links/checklists) plugin, you can require a maximum and minimum number of audio items for your WordPress posts.

If there's the wrong number of audio items, you can choose to show a warning, or prevent the post from being published.

This task cover a wide range of audio content from self-hosted audio to Spotify, Mixcloud, Soundcloud and PocketCasts. Here are the specifics:

- Counts native HTML players.
- Counts WordPress shortcodes.
- Counts third-party audio embeds such as SoundCloud, Spotify, Mixcloud, and PocketCasts.
- Does not count plain links to audio files by themselves.

In the screenshot below, you can see the options for the "Number of audio items in content" task.

- You can choose from “Disabled, Recommended, or Required” options.
- You can enter choices for “Min” and “Max”.
