Enjoy background playback, seamless transfer of playing tracks, and global keyboard shortcuts for play, pause, skip, and saving tracks to your library.

This open-source extension enhances your listening experience by integrating effortlessly with Chrome, providing convenience and quick access to your Spotify playback. Check out the Firefox version too! For more details and feedback, visit the official GitHub and related documentation links.

Doesn't work. Neverending "Connecting to Spotify...".
by Ti*****, 2024-11-12

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
