I found this module easy to install and it does pretty much what I want but there are a few downfalls. I can only get it to work on my main menu items but not the submenus - which is where it needs to be.
The major drawback to this module is the lack of support for it. Sure there's the goggle group but from what I've seen, the developers don't seem to be answering any of the main queries there and the FAQ on their site is in German - which isn't really helpful to the English-speaking community. Fix this and I'm sure more people will be wanting to use the module.

1. Load the module in
2. Assign the module a position
3. Upload some .mp3 songs to a directory on your server.
4. Type in the full path to the songs e.i. www.yoursite.com/media/songs/
5. Type in the file names of the songs you want to play with a | between them.
6. Type in the names of the songs you want to play with a | between them.
7. Turn on/off auto-start, loop, shuffle.
8. Type in the colors you want for each part of the UI.
9. Adjust the sizes of the various UI elements.
The good:
Easy to configure for the most part.
Small in size. Will configure for 1 song or multi song.
Plays songs in the background with a full set of play,stop, skip forward, skip backward, volume, pause controls.
The bad:
Was very difficult to get some colors adjusted to anything pleasant. UI is very basic.
By the way if I put more than 502 songs in the play list then refreshed my browser the page went blank every time. I'm not sure if that is based on filename and song title length or an actual # of songs limit.

The only thing that is not working is the "?" button wich is suposed to display the title of the song and it is showing the word "inconnu" instead.
Also i would suggest to allow transparent background color background or PNG background for the player.
Thanks! good job.

I don't publish many reviews as I am usually too busy. My client needed to demo some of their music and having tried other modules, all of which had problems of one sort or another, this was the only one that worked as expected, without causing any browser issues. Great module and I really appreciate the effort that has gone into it.
