Spotify on Chrome: A mini Spotify player Extension

Spotify has a really cool feature called Spotify Connect. Basically it could turn anything into a Spotify player, and control it with your cellphone. I made this app trying to connect Spotify with Chrome.(Check it out: Firefox version is released!)

By the restriction of Spotify, this add-on only works with Spotify premium account.

Why use this player instead of Spotify website?

1. Play in background of Chrome, no need to keep Spotify website open;
2. Global keyboard shortcut to play/stop/next/previous/like; (\"Like\" means to save the track into your library.)
3. Transfer playback to Chrome seamlessly with just one click.

Default keyboard shortcuts
Play previous track: Ctrl+shift+7
Play or pause: Ctrl+shift+8
Play next track: Ctrl+shift+9
Save the track: Ctrl+shift+0

A small gadget just makes life a little bit easier.

Besides, it's open source!

Elio Donis (ID: 000000202ae01edb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/08/2023 works great without needing to have the tab opened, great to play music on a discrete way and leaves no track of it

최원빈 (ID: 00000063b9463037) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2022 How nice Chrome Extention player that i want!! I think if it had adjusting volume function, it will be more nice

icon

Jacob Driver (ID: 0000005f269d9797) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/15/2022 It works great i love it so much you just have to set the keyboard shortcuts to "in chrome" on chromebook for them to work. The only thing that needs work is it disconnecting from your account and you needing to reauthorize constantly, otherwise this is one of the best extentions I have ever used.

Om Acharya (ID: 000000c92bac2c81) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/15/2021 It Needs Work! The miniplayer itself is beautiful, but the skip forward/backward doesn't work. I can't get the keyboard shortcuts to work either (On ChromeOS), and most annoyingly, sometimes it keeps making me authorize my account without actually authorizing it! I hope you can fix this because I love the look of the player!
