FoxyTunes is a Firefox add-on which gives you the ability to integrate some of the most powerful media players around such as iTunes and Windows Media Player directly into your browser window. You are given the ability to control your media player of choice from Firefox's status bar or toolbar section.
- You can play files from your favorite media player without having to leave your browser window.
- A wealth of information about artists and tracks can be easily obtained from FoxyTunes' menu.
- A sleep timer and alarm clock are built in to the add-on's main menu.
- FoxyTunes Mini gives you a floating control panel that can be moved around at will.
- Switching between media players is extremely simple.
- The Reposition option does not actually reposition FoxyTunes but shows instructions on how to do it.
- FoxyTunes allows you to control media players such as iTunes and RealPlayer directly from Firefox.
- Most of the standard controls including play, FF, rewind, stop, volume, and more are displayed in the browser's main window.
- The name and artist of the current track playing is shown in the browser's main window.
- The Search feature lets you find information on the artist of the current track from sites like WikiPedia and YouTube.
- The Search feature also gives you the ability to locate the current song or album in the iTunes Music Store.
- Menu shortcuts let you quickly search the web for artist biographies, track information, lyrics, chords, videos, and more.
- Buttons are displayed in Firefox's status bar which show or hide your media player application.
- FoxyTunes lets you easily switch to any media player that you currently have installed.
- Over a dozen different FoxyTunes skins are available for download.
- Album covers for the current track are fetched (from Amazon by default) and displayed.
If you like to enjoy music, eBooks, or other media files while you browse the web, FoxyTunes may soon become your best friend. By integrating practically any media player right into Firefox's window, this add-on gives you control over the player without ever leaving the browser window. The controls are non-obtrusive and easy to use. Added skins let you give FoxyTunes the look and feel you desire. Easy access to items such as song lyrics is also included, giving the add-on some nice improvements over your media player itself. If you use iTunes, especially in Windows, you may not be totally sold on FoxyTunes since Apple's application allows you to control it from your taskbar. Also, you may occasionally hear a track skip a bit when you are loading a new web page. Aside from this, there is really nothing negative that I can say about FoxyTunes. This is a top shelf add-on in every respect.
