fast and pro service



Posted on 01 November 2011
Not only this extension is great and really easy to use, but the developers are very fast and pro to solve a problem (my mistake). I recommand twice if no more.

does not validate



Posted on 21 June 2011
Hi,



I have downloaded this extension and used it on a website built for one of my clients.



Installation and set up was a breeze.



Background music worked well.



HOWEVER, after completing the development I have checked the validation which came up pretty shocking - as 11 errors, all in this extension.



So had to uninstall - what a shame. If it would validate it would be 5 star product!
Owner's reply: Hi, reviewed the code, and I have added modifications to the code so that it conforms and validates according to http://validator.w3.org/

Please see demo page.

great!

Finally a player that continues to play when I change page, I've been looking for one for some time now.. Thanks, great job overall!

Easy to use



Posted on 16 October 2010
This plugin and module are very easy to configure and use.

agreed with the rest as in it keep on restarting every time the page change.
Owner's reply: Hello, you may want to check out the latest version 1.5. I have changed to a flash player and audio should continue between page changes.
I really agree with analographi

Well, its a music player, that is ok! Thats what it is and doesent differenciate from many others.



I would like to have a solution for background music which does not restart every time I click on a link on my site. Is there any solution to listen to the song while browsing (and clicking sublinks) at my website?
Owner's reply: Hello, you may want to check out the latest version 1.5. I have changed to a flash player and audio should continue between page changes.
Well, its a music player, that is ok.



But it's totally useless for real background music because it does restart the music everytime the user navigates somewhere else within the site.
Owner's reply: Hello, you may want to check out the latest JBGMusic version 1.5. I have changed player and audio should continue between page changes.

Small and Powerful



Posted on 06 August 2009
One of the best extensions I tried on Joomla and I use Joomla daily for projects.



Small, powerful and versatile.



Congrats.

fair enough...



Posted on 01 April 2009
well,i just tried it...

it's simple,fast and i think i like it....



it's a fair enough plug in....hope it will get even better!

Solid application



Posted on 06 January 2009
Plus: Easy to install and excellent sound quality.

Minus: The plugin & usage instructions could stand some clarity.

Very Nice Module



Posted on 14 November 2008
It's a shame this module is hid on the last page of this category. I installed it for someone just a few days ago and it works perfectly. I could not have asked for it to be any better than it is. It installs simple and is an all around good module.

Many thanks to the developers. I installed this one as a favor. Next time, I will be donating to the "Pizza Fund".
