Audio Album

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 86% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Thanks to the author for publishing this and keeping it open source! One point that wasn’t brought up about it, is that with many/most other Audio Playlist plugins, there is actually no useable text in the Post, which allows a user to search for a song by Author, Album, Song, etc. The way this plugin’s shortcodes are designed, enables searchability of the playlist by all these terms. Another advantage (huge) is that this plugin doesn’t require loading ANY media into WordPress. All the audio files can be left in some served web directory. Again, very cool.

   I LOVE this plug in – it was exactly what I was looking for. It is straightforward and light, and easy to load and organize my audio files on a Page. My only request would be a really simple YouTube video that walks you through the basic steps – it took me an hour of trail-and-error to make a mess and learn how to use it. A three minute video would have saved me 57 minutes 🙂 But I love it, it’s free, so, no complaints!

   I was trying to solve an issue with Chrome not loading more than six tracks at a time when stumbling across this plugin.
