The KEXP Streaming Player Chrome extension allows you to enjoy the kexp.org live audio stream seamlessly in the background, across browser tabs and windows. Instantly discover what's playing with live updates showing the current song and show information directly from kexp.org. You can easily "like" songs you enjoy to save them locally, and optionally share your likes to your Last.fm profile or send loved tracks to a Spotify playlist.

Featuring album and artist artwork from Last.fm, a popout mode perfect for multi-monitor setups, and a refreshed visual design with retina support, this extension enhances your listening experience. It's built with open source software under BSD/MIT licenses and operates independently from kexp.org.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

KEXP Streaming Player (Listener Developed) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
