mb.miniAudioPlayer – an HTML5 audio player for your mp3 files

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 · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 use for music reproduction in the article for a long time. I like it because it looks a lot better than the default player. I hope this plugin is maintained for a long time.

   mb.miniAudioPlayer is working great. Thanks! I have been using MP3-jPlayer for years but with the update to WordPress 5.5, a migration tool known as jquery-migrate was no longer enabled by default. Then with the update to WordPress 5.6, the included version of jQuery was also upgraded. This means that old code that previously caused warnings may now, instead, cause errors or stop working entirely. Consequently I was getting white screens of death and fatal errors and I was losing customers as a result. After hours of research and problem solving I am so pleased to say that switching over to mb.miniAudioPlayer immediately stopped the issues and my site is now working well again.

   I used this to replace the default player to look nicer and allow download of mp3’s – does both fantastically. Been using for a year or more and never an issue. This topic was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by colinfroggatt.
