Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records MrTux Music Collection version 1.0.0 as active, updated 22d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
MrTux Music Collection is a complete WordPress plugin that lets administrators manage a collection of audio tracks through a dedicated control panel and expose them on the public site via a shortcode with a modern, responsive audio player. It is free and fully functional on its own — no purchase required.
Features:
Custom Post Type music_track with title, description, artist, album, cover image, and audio file upload via the native WordPress media uploader.
Custom admin list table with bulk actions (publish, draft, delete), single row actions, search and pagination.
Modern HTML5 audio player powered by Plyr with one-at-a-time playback (playing a new track automatically pauses the others).
Automatic duration detection: as soon as the audio file is selected in the editor, the browser computes the duration and persists it via AJAX.
Share buttons for WhatsApp and Instagram on every track (Web Share API + configurable Instagram profile fallback).
Track categories with hierarchy support and grouped display.
Clean, conditional asset loading: CSS/JS are enqueued only on pages where the shortcode is present.
Fully internationalized,.pot file included.
WPCS-compliant code, with nonces, capability checks and proper sanitization/escaping everywhere.
The Pro edition
For creators who need more, MrTux Music Collection Pro adds:
Continuous playlist player: a single global player with a visible queue that keeps playing the next track automatically.
Canvas waveform progress bar for every track, with click-to-seek.
One-click download buttons for every track.
Dedicated Pro settings page (autoplay, download defaults).
site/music-tracks-pro. This free version is complete on its own and does not require any purchase.
How to upgrade
Visit https://wpforge.site/music-tracks-pro and download the Pro add-on.
