Extension summary

Spotify has a really cool feature called Spotify Connect. Basically it could turn anything into a Spotify player, and control it with your cellphone. I made this app trying to connect Spotify with Chrome.(Check it out: Firefox version is released!)

By the restriction of Spotify, this add-on only works with Spotify premium account.

Why use this player instead of Spotify website?

Play in background of Chrome, no need to keep Spotify website open;
Global keyboard shortcut to play/stop/next/previous/like; ("Like" means to save the track into your library.)
Transfer playback to Chrome seamlessly with just one click.

Default keyboard shortcuts Play previous track: Ctrl+shift+7 Play or pause: Ctrl+shift+8 Play next track: Ctrl+shift+9 Save the track: Ctrl+shift+0

Doesn't work. Neverending "Connecting to Spotify...".

This is the best mini player I have ever used. It completely beats Spotify's official mini player, which stops playing when the tab is closed. Thank you for the clever idea!

works great without needing to have the tab opened, great to play music on a discrete way and leaves no track of it
