FoxyTunes - Firefox Addon
FoxyTunes is an addon/plugin for Firefox that allows you to control your media/music player from within Firefox. You can do standard things such as pause, start, stop, forward and volume.
However, it also has many other features hidden away in its menus. FoxyTunes is an addon for Firefox, this means that it is easy to install and should run perfectly. It works with loads of different music players, too many to list, including the big ones with was iTunes, Winamp and Windows Media Player.
When you are listening to music, you can access the FoxyTunes planet. When you are listening to music you can click the FoxyTunes Planet button. This will bring you to information page about the artist you are listening to. From here you can see similar artists, view information and see their best tracks.
With some over small but nice features, such as integration with Twitter (you can automatically post listening to your song as what you are doing) and the ability to download new skins.
All around FoxyTunes is a great plugin for any music lover. It is easy to change song inside Firefox and the many other features make it even better. It is simple to install and I really recommend it.
