## Description

The Audio Player Chrome extension leverages FFmpeg and WebAssembly to provide seamless playback of virtually all audio formats directly in your browser. With support for audio streams from video containers and a wide array of codecs, it offers unmatched format compatibility. Users benefit from features like volume boost (up to twice the original level, similar to VLC), sequential playback, shuffle, repeat, and comprehensive playlist management.

Designed for offline use and fully JavaScript-based, this extension integrates natively with ChromeOS and Chrome OS Flex, allowing easy media file handling through the context menu. Media keys and keyboard shortcuts enhance control, making this player ideal for users on restricted OS environments or those needing to extract audio from media files without native player installations.
