I love listening to kexp.org while I work and always have a chrome browser window open. I hated having to open the kexp.org website when I heard an amazing song playing that I liked.

Now you can listen to the kexp.org live steam in the background and within 1 click of any chrome window discover what's playing!

If you want to remember the song to download or stream later on your favorite service, just click the like button. The extension uses local storage to store all your likes. Album and artist art is displayed using last.fm.

Features:

▪ Background audio player that works across tabs and windows ▪ Live update of now playing song & show info from kexp.org ▪ Like a song you hear on kexp.org so you can remember that amazing song you just heard last week • Share liked songs to your last.fm profile (loves) • Scrobble liked songs to your last.fm profile (listens) • Send liked songs to your Spotify playlist ▪ Album or artist art from last.fm
