Quick ‘n’ Easy to get up running
Granted I haven’t delved too deeply into everything but for getting up some content quickly from scratch it’s very easy to use and does everything I need it to without headaches
works with wp-members download protect extension
searching for an easy replacement for the worpress audio player which could not handle my download protected urls for streaming. works like a charm.
Very Good !
Working faster with 10 tracks or fewer.
