Biggest opportunity: Swap “audio player” and “mp3 podcast player” for “radio” and “songs”. “audio player” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “radio” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mp3 podcast player” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “songs” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.9%

of downloads still active

At least 50 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Resuelve una necesidad muy sencilla para lo que no hay más alternativas que este plugin. Los demás plugins de radios requieren cosas muy complejas, en este simplemente hacés la playlist y cualquier persona que entre al sitio escucha eso, todos lo mismo al mismo tiempo. ¡Es excelente!
