This plugin is part of a larger project to provide musicians with online tools. 
We’re using http://browserstack.com to check our forthcoming front-end templates
on every imaginable device. Many thanks for their great product and their generous
support of our open source development program.

## Installation

 1. unzip package
 2. Upload directory `thefreemusician` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Go to http://littleguybigheart.net/tfmplugin/instructions for further instructions
    (
    you’ll almost certainly need to – wordpress AJAX enabling is not always simple 
    depending on your theme)

## FAQ

  When I browse to another page, my music stops when it should keep playing

You haven’t enabled your AJAX in the setting panel (it’s disabled by default because
it’s tricky!)
 Read the instructions at http://littleguybigheart.net/tfmplugin/instructions

  I get this error on activation

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/heatherp/public_html/wp/
test013/wp-content/plugins/thefreemusician/ob_settings_v1_3.php on line 14

I don’t know why this happens but my next priority is to replace this piec of code
anyway – so it’ll be fixed soon…
