The key information to your issues are there. Each website has its own conflicting plugins, so be prepared to experiment.

More detailed than many other plugins (including paid) I've used.
Value for money
I've paid a lot more for plug-ins that provided a lot less value.
I used this to: If your slideshow is blank (even though you saw the loading spinner), it is most likely a script error (Squeezebox being called from Attachments in my case.) I used Disable Mootools by ExtensionBase to resolve my conflicting issues.
