EsAudioPlayer

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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.

   I needed something basic, and this worked. If you are struggling like I was to find an easy audio player, don’t bother with anything else. Just use this. Go to the settings page to set the color…and save. I added this to my widgets area for a new site I am be working on, dragged a new text box to the widget area I wanted it to play in, and this is the code I put in the empty box. Listen to Lou Manfredini [esplayer url=”http://snowblowerskids.com/armorskids.mp3″ width=”220″ height=”20″ shadow_size=”0.0″] YAY! I tried at least 20 players most of them way to complicated for one simple mp3, and I was getting very frustrated. So if you need a simple player…use this one. Good Job!

   I was looking for a simple plugin to show a song of a day or week to my readers (I’m bloggin about music) in sidebar. I tried different times but always came to some horrible results: you don’t see player, the song doesn’t start, jquery conflict, flash player conflict, progress bar is not working, play tracks only from folder or don’t recognize links and so on and so forth. This was the only plugin that actually worked. It’s very fast and easy to use. When I earn enough money I will donate, I promise. This plugin is just a miracle thanks a lor!
