  • Does one thing very well, just as it says on the tin!

    This is a an excellent single-use plugin that enhances the audio player block for a special use case: you want to play all the way through a recording one time only per user session when the block is set to autoplay. Autoplay on every page load is an annoying thing to inflict on people, so the relevant use case probably should be yours if you are using autoplay!

  • View Once Only! Excellent

    I needed a way to play an mp3 clip for a student who would then answer one or more questions. It was very important that the clip could only be played once to prevent the student from playing the clip over and over again before answering the questions. This plugin does exactly that. It's incredibly easy to implement and has been "bullet proof". Thanks and thanks again!
