  • Perfect Tool

    Simple and intuitive tool. Exactly what I need for my English Language audio lessons. Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

  • Best MP3 File Plugin

    This is by far the best plugin for MP3 players that we've ever used. There are plenty of complicated plugins out there (which is totally fine), but this one does an impressive job of displaying and playing MP3 files. Plus, it's very easy to use.

  • Marche en version gratuite

    Enfin un lecteur utilisable ! Et avec un bouton de volume, et qui affecte le même lecteur pour toute la playlist. Y a aussi Audio Album qui marche bien, mais plus rudimentaire.

  • Great player, great support

    It's easy to manage, does what you hope it'll do, works well on mobile and desktop. I had an issue that I thought was with the player and the support team quickly replied and it turned out to be unrelated to AudioIgniter.

  • Speed control

    How about speed control?

  • unavailable

    I'm disappointed that I cannot utilize it within the context of my custom theme. The theme I designed has no impact when shortcodes are used on the page.
