From the developer
kaedinger's own description of Audio Comparison Lite, lightly tidied.

This plugin is used to present audio files, typically two versions of the same audio (for instance, an unmixed, raw version and the final mixed version of a song), in a time synchronized manner: by switching seamlessly between files when the user presses the respective button. (And since version 3 you can compare up to three files in the full version!)
Finally a direct A/B comparison is possible on your website! You can showcase as many files on one page as you like, completely independent from each other.
All this with a simple shortcode!
Control the site wide design and behaviour from central settings, but each Audio Comparison Lite instance can be configured independently! And with the help of special CSS classes you can easily adjust to your own visual style.
All about the shortcode usage and the CSS classes is in the Audio Comparison Lite settings, right where you need it.
