    Worst plugin, not working, waste of time

  • Simple and Great, but with one flaw

    This plugin works as promised, but I don't like how it loads it scripts on all the post types I've selected in its settings. It's not like every one of my posts/post types has audio. It would be nice if it can load scripts only where needed.

  • Almost Perfect

    Need more design and customization for this player. But it does the radio or mp3 player work. Great thanks to the developer. Some recommendations: Bring an option to turn on or off sticky player. Add customization of the player, my opinion is the play button is very left which can move little right or add an option to make it very right or middle. Give the option to add the station name or song title. Give an option to resize player width and height.

  • Great player for audio (podcast, music, audiobook) and sticky footer!

    I am amazed at how this audio works independently on each page or post. Also in publications of the type: events and downloads. It would be great if we could see the title of the audio but it is only available in the pro version. Still the free plugin option does a great job. It is smart to recognize the native WordPress player in the content from the editor: Gutenberg and Classic Editor*. As well as for shortcodes (untested option). *: you have to enter the audio correctly. By clicking on the tab: Add object. And click the audio you want. And before inserting it in the entry or page, verify that in Attachment display settings, in the option to embed or link, figure: Embed the player. Thanks for this plugin, I made a video tutorial in Spanish. Greetings.
