New Release: Bandcamp Support and Keyboard Shortcuts Tue, Aug 31, 2010
We just released 1.5.6 to the Chrome extension gallery. This new release adds support for Bandcamp as well as Keyboard Shortcuts and better sync between computers.
Bandcamp is an amazing service that offers bands the ability to create their own pages where they can stream music as well as sell it directly to their fans. We are proud to say that ExtensionFM now supports these pages. When you come across a Bandcamp album page, songs will automatically be added to your library. Of course, songs always have links back to the album page where they were found. If you like the music (and we know you will!), you can easily buy it by right-clicking on a song and then choosing ‘Buy’.
Check out some of these great artists and albums on Bandcamp:
- Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People
- Zoe Keating - Into The Trees
- Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer
Keyboard Shortcuts
You now have the ability to control playback using keyboard shortcuts. This makes it really simple to play, pause and skip tracks without having to change tabs or click on the Ex button. These will work on the player page as well as any page you currently have open. To enable, visit your Settings page and turn on this option. Please note, that these will not work on secure https pages.
New Sync
Also in this release is a completely revamped sync engine. If you have created an account you should notice a significant improvement in how well your libraries across multiple computers stay in sync.
We’d love to hear what you think about these new features. Leave us a comment here or on our UserVoice support page.
