Very simple, unique and exciting plugin that allows the bloggers to link an image to an audio file through the Media Library. Automatically, a little play icon will be added on your images in your posts. That way, you can give another dimension to your images thanks to sounds, music or voice-over. Here is a very simple example.
Of course, you can also have it in a gallery, or anywhere else! Below, only the last photo has sound, but we could have added it to all of them.
Japan’s Mt. Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity. Its iconic profile is the subject of numerous works of art, notably Edo Period prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige.
Sanzen-in is a Tendai school monzeki temple in Ōhara, Kyoto, Japan. The Heian period triad of Amida Nyorai flanked by attendants is a National Treasure.
Meoto Iwa, or the Married Couple Rocks, are a couple of small rocky stacks in the sea off Futami, Mie, Japan. They are joined by a shimenawa and are considered sacred by worshippers at the neighboring Futami Okitama Shrine.

How it works
Simply attach an image to an audio file or vice-versa in the Media Library.
Ideas
Since I love the concept, I am trying to gathers ideas of what you can do with this plugin.
- Tell an audio story behind each image rather than text (the text should focus on SEO instead, be an excerpt of the story)
- Use cinemagraphs instead of normal images and have the audio track synchronized with it
- Write a post with photos taken around your home, with the associated background audio
- Write a post with portraits, each of them will say a simple sentence with their own voice
- Etc…
