 * Hi. Love the pluggin. The play/pause button does not work on my install. I have
   the background track enabled only on the homepage. But the music does not stop
   when clicking the button. What am I missing?

 * In Soundy Version 2.0 and later, you can now set the variable $use_own_jquery_lib_on_front_end
   to true in the main Soundy PHP file: soundy.php.
 * To make this modification:
    1. Go to the plugins page.
    2. Click on the Edit link of the Soundy plugin.
    3. Look for the variable and set it to true.
 * This should fix the “Play/Pause Button Not Responding” issue.

 * With the new version, Soundy Background Music 2.4, there isn’t any more the $
   use_own_jquery_lib_on_front_end variable, as having a plugin loading its own 
   jQuery library is against the WordPress plugin development rules.
 * Thus, Soundy just uses the default WP jQuery library and this is what all themes
   and plugins should do.
 * One plugin, which doesn’t follow this rule is enough to break other plugins.
 * Please ensure that your theme and all other plugins use the default WP jQuery
   library and not their own one.
