MiniPlay Extension

MiniPlay extends Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify Web with keyboard shortcuts, a miniplayer, Last.fm scrobbling, rich notifications, and more!

----------------
FEATURES
----------------

- Control playback from a popup
- Browse and search through your library (currently only Google Music is supported)
- Global (Chrome-wide) shortcuts
- Rich notifications with actions
- Last.fm scrobbling

-------------------
PERMISSIONS
-------------------

MiniPlay uses the following permissions:

- Notifications: MiniPlay optionally displays rich notifications when a new song starts
- Storage: MiniPlay associates your settings with your Chrome account, so your settings are consistent across computers
- Tabs: MiniPlay needs to hook into music player tabs to function properly. Also, because some streaming services host their album art images on other domains, MiniPlay requires a more general permission to read data on any website.

James Johnson (ID: 0000009477f99e5c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/22/2020 I have been using it for years with Google Play Music, but since that is going to be eventually replaced with YouTube Music it would be great if MiniPlay would work with that was well. I have tried to get it to work but it does not. This is a great tool to use my function keys on my keyboard and I would still love to have that function.

Reuben Bedingfield (ID: 00000002c189c4c8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/24/2018 Currently only seems to work with Google Music, but works well for that. Other music services would be a definite bonus.

Paul Wiesen (ID: 000000dae769e2f9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/21/2018 Worked fine for Google Play music but not Pandora.
