this module is very easy to use. You only upload the songs to a folder and the player do the rest for itself, so forget the playlists with this module and plugin. I use the plugin because I can put the player in any place in any article/s! It is really a great player! I recommend this to the comunity.
I was looking for a good mp3 player for my new site - preferably free. But nothing free came close to this one. Really a highly flexible plugin/module.
Also the dev gave very quick support and he seems open to feature suggestions. Recommended.

I would have given it 5 stars but there seems room for improvement on this extension. Even though it is great to implement into your website and that you have many ways of putting multiple players into your website - I wish there was a way for the end user to pick the MP3's that you are showing them and they could make their own playlist. If there is a way to do this I would appreciate the help but as far as look, feel, support I would have to say excellent. Just wish for more functionality for the end user who visits your site.
ProJoom is a most amazing developer from a multitude of angles--their customer service is top notch, lightening fast and helpful. One of the developers even went far and above the call of duty to fix a module position for me! I will definitely be purchasing additional extensions from them--products work exactly as stated and without error or bugs. They were incredibly helpful to a Joomla newbie as myself, and this is the type of customer service that is non-existent these days--they are wonderful and have exceeded every expectation!
Excellent player, love the interface and the ease of use. Pro Joom! and the rest of their applications are awesome, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
For my collection of 20GB+ of Chinese music, I have already spent countless hours properly encoding every single MP3 for the correct title, contributing author, album name and lyrics (in traditional Chinese), and at this point, I am ready to start creating a Joomla-based online jukebox, but am simply burned out from all the work done so far. Thousands of files + reading Chinese = daunting undertaking + headache.
Evaluating dozens of other Joomla-based MP3 players has brought nothing but disappointment and despair. I was almost on the verge of throwing my hands up in the air and giving up altogether on this jukebox project as I was not willing to sacrifice hundreds of additional hours creating customized playlists and formatting tables for the one single MP3 player that did play MP3s with tags encoded with UTF-8 characters. I decided that I would create playlists based on folders, or do nothing at all.
Enter Pro Magic Audio Player, which at first seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but to my initial shock, the player was unable to display the correct UTF-8 encoding of tags, and was thus unable to play the songs as well. I was ready to request a refund out of frustration when I decided to send a quick email to support and describe the situation. Not even 12 hours later, I received an extremely detailed email reply with the fix: remove IDv1 tags (leaving only IDv2 tags), and change a parameter in a PHP ini file (a change which I was advised will be incorporated in the next version update). Lo and behold, I now have a perfect jukebox for playing Chinese and Korean and Japanese music!
Forget about the crazily detailed customization capabilities for the appearance alone. The ease of use of this plugin, its flexibility and, most importantly, the speed at which I can get this jukebox up and running in its entirety, are monumental. This ProJoom's plugin has empowered me to fulfill a decade-long vision of mine, and has already saved me ridiculous amounts of time by its ability to dynamically generate playlists and read from MP3 tags.
Quality aside, ProJoom's quick response, professional manner, and detailed and clear explanation (and documentation) have won my trust as a loyal customer, and has convinced me that much pride has been invested in the development of this plugin.
Is Pro Magic Audio Player worth the money, and is it worth the nine-month lifespan of a support contract that must be renewed thereafter? You bet it is. You get what you pay for, and this was money well spent.
Now that my rave is done, I would like to be greedy and ask if it would be possible to add lyric functionality as a configuration option to this plugin? I was thinking along the lines of, as a song is playing, the user is able to click a side arrow that makes a lyrics window slide out from the left of the main player panel, with the lyrics pane dimensions defaulting to the preset theme dimensions, but resizable via configuration. Vertical scrolling would be there as well. How does this sound? Seems easy enough to implement considering the plugin already pulls from ID3v2 tags.
Many thanks!

Downloaded it, installed it, spent an age trying out all the settings and features and it works with the worst web browser in the universe (we all know which one I mean). A superb player, versatile and practical, well worth the modest outlay for a professional extension. Recommended!
This is great value for money, since it can be used as both a popup or embedded player, in a range of sizes and styles.
Front-end operation is straightforward for the site vistor, and backend configuration is simple (even for a non-expert like me), allowing plenty of aesthetic tweaks to suit the theme of your site.
I did have a problem with the player after upgrading to Joomla! 1.5.15, but support from ProJoom was amazingly fast and helpful, and the issue was resolved.
In short I'm happy to recommend this extension and the excellent support that ProJoom provide.

I give this top rating and price is right. I would make two recommendations for improvement and if you do, you just put yourself WAY ahead of everyone else. I use the player for both audio recordings (lessons) and also background music. I also have Video's with both music and talking on the web page. If I start the background music and then start any other audio or video, they both play at the same time. The suggestion for improvement is this: When the background music is playing, and then someone wants to hear an audio or video file, have the background music automatically stop until whatever is being played stops and then the background music starts again, so they do not play over each other. That would be fantastic. I know it can be done, I have another web page (I didn't put it together) it does that, REALLY NICE. I can send URL so you can see it. Also, second suggestion is to make the background music player float in and ask if they would like to hear music. I have a different site that does that. Can send URL if you want. Combine those two things and you have the best out there hands down. I do love the player though, really nice, these are just suggestions for improving.
This little player is indeed magic. It's simple to set up and puts a virtual jukebox on your site. My clients are always impressed with the way Pro Magic looks & functions. I have found tech. support for Pro Magic to be first-rate: immediate, patient & respectful, and 100% helpful. This is an A+++ product with A+++ support. Well worth the nominal cost to purchase. I cannot identify a downside. Nice!!!
-easy installation
-easy usage/configuration
-good documentation
-all colors can be defined by the user, templates for easy usage exist
-execellent support, I got help within 10 Minutes and the even worte me an Update within another 20 minutes
-put some MP3s to an folder and it works, it has a superior shuffle function: every time the plaer is started you get a new random playlist. This is a nice feture, if you want to provide something like the radio player from "last.fm" on your webside.

now such extensions like pro magic audio player set the standards of joomla.. properly conceived, nicely rendered and does beautifully what it says.. i guess the price is also fine.. good work projoom team.. would like to see more development of this extension as this shall be required by many sites as the utility is so common and universal.. would like to see better GUI and enhanced functionality for this extension in future releases.. thanks for this wonder extension
All good. I have my mp3's in my stories directory - no problems there.
The Plugin and Module is great - lots of configurable options. No advertising or links to other sites.
Can't see any thirdparty JS in my build (I'm not using the google features). Looks safe to me.
The audio title name is the file name - but that's just how it works without a playlist.

The thought of building a website has always been scary for me. I tried to give it a shot and was frustrated with wired names, path etc.I was about to give up until I got Pro Magic Audio player from Projoom. The language was simple, the Player worked magic. My goodness my entuthiasism was revived and I could not get off the PC. I decided to but all extensions Projoom has and fortunately got a good deal for the Pro mega pack with order #(#3037. made up of nine extensions.. your extensions are fun to work with, sleek, easy to understand and really begin to feel like a pro. My friends think I took some classes secretely.
Not only di i get the best, exquisite extensions with smart easy to understand video documentations but the technical help is faster than browsing the net. I asked for extensions and I even got tips on how to use Cora Draw. I payed for all of their extensions but I have a Projoom technical man who is more interested in my project and always there for me 24/7 with the speed of urgency whiles other tech men brushed me aside.
Thank u guys at Projoom. keep up the good job. You made me feel like a pro.

PROS:
- The player looks very nice from the front end
- It is very easy to configure in the back-end
CONS:
- Media files must be in the web root(!)
- The code is naively obfuscated with nested eval(gzinflate()) constructs (causing the php to run much, much slower and hiding the source)
- It includes external javascript from third-party sites (!).
I love how this player looks and feels on the front end, but running pseudo-encrypted code is a no-go. Pair that with including third-party javascript and you have a potential recipe for disaster. IMO, installing this player is dangerous - hence the low rating.

This by far is the best mp3 player for joomla. Projoom keeps upgrading and updating all their products, which is a big plus. Support is 5 stars, hands down. Most of my questions are answered within a few minutes, the rest maybe an hour or 2. Can't say enough good things about the product. Sam C.
