The moment I create new shortcode, it overrides the old one, so there is no way to add more shortcodes for more products, it only works on one, for me it’s useless.

Very pleased with this plugin – styles look so much better than other similar plugins I’ve tried. And the bulk upload is particularly handy – saved me a huge amount of time recently when I had to launch my new site before schedule!

The player is just great and has many nice features and you can tweak the user interface in so many ways. For now I cannot think of anything I miss in this product! When I run in to a small ui issue, I got response and a solution on the issue within 2 hours! That is what I would call awesome support! Thanks and keep up the good work! /Peter
