very good, works fine for most people. My only criticism is you can't add other filetypes to the default entries, unless I edit the source code, example currently: sound: 'mp3, aac, wav, ogg, flac, wma' but, I want sound: 'aac;ac3;aif;aifc;aiff;amr;ape;au;cda;dts;fla;flac;it;m1a;m2a;m3u; m4a;mid;midi;mka;mod;mp2;mp3;mpa;ogg;opus;ra;rmi;spc;rmi;snd;umx;voc;wav;weba;wma;xm'

it didnt do anything it was suppose to do and not easy to figure out at ALL. it is way too hard to figure out how to even download. i want simple not 12 steps just to download. like this (type in keyword,search, find good file then hit download) how hard is it to make things simple
