Luna Audio Player Plugin Review
I was blown away by the advanced features and versatility of Luna Audio Player Plugin, especially given its affordability. After incorporating it into my site, I’ve been extremely impressed with its performance, versatility, and ease of use. In this review, I’ll delve into its features, pros, and cons, and let you know why I rated it 4 out of 5 stars.
Intro
The Luna Audio Player Plugin is an advanced player that supports a variety of audio formats, including MP3 and RSS podcasts, with the ability to add playlists from HTML, XML, and automatically fetch directories with ID3 metadata. With its responsive design and customizable layout options, I was eager to try it out and see if it lived up to my expectations.
Features and Settings
Upon installing and setting up the plugin, I was thrilled to see a wide range of customizable features.
- Two User Interface Options: Luna Audio Player allows you to choose between a small and big layout to suit your needs. While the default layout looked quite modern, I wished they had included more color palette options to match your existing site design.
- Playlist Support: Playing multiple tracks in order made it easy to set playlists from RSS-Podcast feeds, XML files, in-line code, and manually selected folders. Organize your tracks with their embedded sort function for greater versatility.
- 7 Audio Visualizer Options: The included audio visualizers added an extra dimension of visual interest to playback and provided seven different styling choices to choose from – allowing me to match its layout to my site seamlessly.
Responsive Design: By default, the responsive layout adapts to suit most screen sizes and devices; however, I expected minor adjustments for better precision customization.
