User reviews

It works but giving a 3/5 because it does not recognize shuffle play. So, when I hit the "next" hotkey on my keyboard it goes to the next immediate song in the playlist rather than shuffle to a different song further in the playlist. For example Song 2/334 is playing, so the second in the playlist. I have shuffle on and I hit the "next" hotkey and it goes to 3/334 rather than going to a random position such as 56/334 in the playlist. I just wish it recognized and operated properly when "shuffle" is toggled on.

Chrome needs restart after installation and it works without any configuration.
