Biggest opportunity: Swap “mp3”, “music” and “sound” for “rave”, “reverbnation” and “techgasp”. “mp3” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rave” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “music” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reverbnation” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sound” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “techgasp” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 70 of 21.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

The description for this plugin is very misleading. They say there is a “Lite” version, but as far as I can tell, it is non-functional. The description tells you all of the things the plugin will do without alerting you BEFOREHAND how much the addons will cost. When you install the plugin, there are NO INSTRUCTIONS except links to their purchase page.

This plugin does everything I need, and makes it easy for my client to manage her own content from the simple interface.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ teckfeck11.4y ago
I’m being incredibly generous in saying that the admin pages are utterly terrible. It seems the focus of this plugin is to blare their “news” all over your page in scrollable sections while asking you to buy add-ons. An add-on for what…maybe ticking their news across the front end of my site, too? Uninstalled, irritated that this slipped into the repository, will not install anything from this company again. Very poor implementation. I can’t believe I just downloaded a half-Mb plugin just to put their ads in my face. The devs got me! But only this once…

Poorly laid out admin pages – please don’t take over my admin with your “news” content and logos everywhere. Respect the UI! Annoying to say the least. More importantly, very confusing as it is difficult to know what, exactly, the functionality of this plugin is, other than to place a Reverbnation button in a widget. Of course, the author provides many links to premium “add-ons”. Very disappointing. Finally, why the huge text everywhere about JS and Ajax? I no longer use this plugin.

Great and useful.

Make sure you update the settings in the Plug-Ins tab before updating the plug-in when you install it. Once I figured out that little gem, this plug-in has worked great!
