Okay... this takes over the stock media player that Chrome & Brave have built-in, but adds a sleep timer and playback speed control. Drag an MP3 to Brave and this extension opens in a new window. That's great, but I want a playlist. I want to drag & drop 5 or 6 local files and have them play in sequence, which this does not seem capable of. Therefore: 4 stars.

Very good indeed! Must it needs configuration!!! Go go Options and configure if it does not take control automatically of the audio file that you just opened.
