Summary
Do you find yourself bookmarking youtube videos/songs that you like? If you do, this chrome extension is for you. When you install it, the user-friendly interface displays three easy steps for you to follow: locate the folders that hold your youtube bookmarks (my folder names are "Music", "Music 2", and "Music 3"), type in the names of those folders into the extension separated by a comma ("Music,Music 2,Music 3"), and finally, choose whether to listen to the songs in-order or shuffled and you'll begin listening to hours of music.
First, disable auto-play on Youtube. Then, after you click the "Shuffle" or "In-order" button in the extension, a small window will appear and you can relax from there on out; the chrome extension will automatically select a new song and play it once the old song is over.
