Lidia M (ID: 000000a92052c052) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/15/2021 No puedo utilizarlo. En chrome para movil no se puede instalar y desde un pc no encuentra el chromecast como es obvio. Será que no se utilizarlo, pero desde 2015 que no se actualiza...

Karan Sandhu (ID: 00000035f98a26d3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/23/2020 It achieves the task of casting but once that has happened you have no choice but to listen to the music all the way through with no way to pause or go to previous/next songs. Also you have to disconnect and reconnect the cast to play another album. Fix that and your golden.

Anton (ID: 0000001b8b2e50c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2019 Sir Hiroki Sato, this is the Thing! Just was wondering if there is such a tool surfing google extensions. Almost lost hope as your one is not even in top but relevant as never before... Great I didn't give up and here it is: 1 - 2 - 3 clicks and my Soundsystem bites my ears! Great job! RRRespect
