The extension keeps getting corrupted when I boot up Chrome. I constantly have to repair the extension to get it working. Please make it more stable.

Made a sound for exactly one download and never worked again.

I've been looking for a way to get audible notifications when a download is complete in Chrome. I came across your Chrome extension "Download Notify" and tried it out. So far, it's pretty good but I often miss or don't hear the subtle sound effect as I am usually multitasking on and off my computer especially when other sound sources are present. I would like to make a few suggestions that I think would make this really solid.
1. Looping a sound effect until a user intervenes or stops it.
2. A different sound effect for a failed download, this message reads "Failed - Network error" in the download tab.
3. Custom sounds that can accommodate long length sound files, like a drone, alarm, or a soundtrack until a user intervenes or stops it.
Download notifications on lengthy downloads are especially helpful, especially when you are multitasking. Just as important is a different sound for failed downloads, it's pretty frustrating when a lengthy download fails halfway through and you don't realize it until much much later because you are waiting for the completed download sound effect!
