Mathieu Ponsot (ID: 0000003f546e9d5f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/02/2014 LA extension que j'attendais ! ENFIN ! Switcher de iTunes à Play Music, un mini player me manquait lourdement. Small Player s'y substitue parfaitement, sans fioriture, uniquement avec les fonctions essentielles et pratiques nécessaires pour contrôler rapidement la musique - tout en bossant par exemple. Pop-Up de notification détachable avec boutons larges et pratiques : impec !
