I had an issue with a javascript conflict and they promptly assisted me in fixing the issue and applied a fix for the future releases of the plugin. Was very satisfied with how easy it installs and works as it is described. The outgoing support is what I appreciate the most though, as I know it is practically impossible to create an extension that flawlessly works with all templates and extensions.
When I realized there were a lot of compatibility issues with different browsers, device types and plugins, I decided to use this plugin. It is Flash-based but falls back to HTML5 if there is no Flash support (phones), and back even further if there is no HTML5. I decided to try 6 sound track samples in my article, and was completely surprised when the players not only all worked but if you click on a player, any other that is already playing will gracefully stop. By adjusting the width down a bit, I was able to insert text beside the player, to indicate what the selection was. Bonus.
I've always like this player and was disappointed when support ceased on the original. However, this updated version has added many improvements without losing the original versatile simplicity that makes this plugin special. It works in almost any configuration of Joomla (including tables) but one of the very best features is where multiple instances occur in a page. Clicking the play button on any one will fade down the one currently playing before starting the next. This is invaluable and is what sets this player apart from many other. The best simply got better and works for any version of Joomla.
I love this plugin - it is easy to use and works flawlessly...the funny thing is that I have paid for this plugin at least 4 times!! It started out free; then it was $5; now it is a yearly subscription!! lol, I gladly paid the doe each time!!

Rapid1Pixelout has changed a lot during years, at first it got compatibility with new Joomla platform, then improved compatibility with other extensions and then Downloads, Social Bookmarks, and now HTML5 fallback too.
The subscription price includes any updates all along an year and support too which is not bad moreover we have had a special promotion until the end of July and for sure we'll have others in the future.
Thank you for being loyal to this extension.
One of the best and most intuitive audio players I've ever used.
This extension is as easy as rich of features and support is great. Excellent work!
This is one of the best audio player plugins but since I was thinking to use it for accessibility website (donated for the plugin already), I can't use it since it does not support screen reader (JAWS), what a shame!
I think all developer should think of accessibility when developing a plugin, module or component. Wouldn't you like everyone to listen to your music including people with disability?
This plugin could be improved by adding tooltips or title tag when mouse hover the "play" or "stop", something as simple as that can help the accessibility community. Accessibility is the part which we tend to ignore or not aware but we should, hence I give this plugin an average rating.
I also think this is BIG missing gap in the audio player market in Joomla.

I don't like paying for things, but I tried numerous free extns, and the ones that worked ok, looked poor.
However, this extn , at just $5, is exactly what I am looking for. Does the job simply, neat , tidy, looks good.
If something prompts me to pay for it, then it's got to be good!

Great extension, I got it to work with Virtuemart product descriptions by enabling content plugins in Virtuemart options. Thanks for the great work!
I've seen this on several sites. I love its simplicity. Now that I have one (well worth the donation) I am pleased with how easy it is to use.
Great job.
Great job.
A small cost goes a long way. I gave up on free .mp3 plugins, finally chose this one. It is awesome. Plus he offers instructional videos for installing and customization.
Thanks.
Thanks.
