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.
