JoomlaXTC's Virtuemart Simple MP3 player enables your store system to offer on-line listening of one or more MP3 audio files using a friendly player and allows you to manage these files transparently thru Virtuemart's file manager.

After this plugin is installed, go to Virtuemart configuation panel and enable the content mambots / plugins in descriptions? flag in Frontend Features tab, and save the change. This is a one-time only change needed to enable the player plugin in product long descriptions.

To add the player to a product description, simply edit the product information on Virtuemart's administration panel and add the following tags to the long description:

{vmp3}_sample{/vmp3}

The plugin works when the product details page is shown in your site's frontpage by searching for this tags in the description, then replacing them with a flash MP3 player that plays any matching filename attached to the product. In the example above, the matching filter is the string "_sample", therefore, any file with "_sample" as part of its filename (not the Title) will be included.

A sample description could look like this: 

Use the Virtuemart Media Manager to upload one or more mp3 files to products, if you plan on showing multiple files at once make sure their filenames (not the Titles) have a matching string such as "_sample" (i.e. yourmp3_sample.mp3).

Make sure the filter string matches at least one MP3 file, otherwise the player will not be shown.

If there is more than one matching file found, the player will automatically switch to a playlist mode where users can hear all files one after another.
