• (2020-07-06) Royce Breckon: Doesn't work on Chromebook (HP Chromebook 14A G5) for Google Play Music or YouTube. Tried with and without StreamKeys (which manually works)
• (2018-11-01) Eric: works as expected. I work at home and play music all the time but need a quick way to mute the music when I get a call . a keyboard with media keys and this extension do the trick. IMPORTANT: reload the pandora page after installing
• (2018-09-29) Alex D: Great extension with good privacy practices. Only requires access to pandora.com and not every single site you visit.
• (2018-06-19) الكابتن الربان: ممتاز
• (2017-07-23) David S: Edit 7/23/17: -------------- Extension has taken to crashing and restarting intermittently, forever, and ultimately not responding after X crash/restart cycles. Works OK for a while after reboot, then nosedives... Edit 11-24-16: Sweet...it's working again...all I could wish for is that my media key for pause/play would work, but maybe that's my keyboard's prob. -------------- Edit 11-13-2016: Pandora has changed their user-interface within the last week, and this seems to have rendered my start/pause shortcut dead. ----------------------- Old review: For whatever reason the default media play/pause keys on my keyboard don't do squat - but by going into chrome://extensions/configureCommands and changing to another option (many didn't work), I was able to get it to function. I've never programmed Chrome hotkeys so I don't know what's normal, but many "Ctrl-whatever" options that I'd thought would work simply don't show up. I used "ctrl-right arrow" in the end.
• (2017-06-08) Cirplex: June 7, 2017 I released version v0.8 of Media Hot Keys. It's now possible to set a shortcut key (defaults to Ctrl+Shift+Home) that will open up Pandora. If Pandora is already opened but isn't in focus, the shortcut key will focus the tab for you to access quickly.
• (2016-11-10) Billy Purdy: Works great on Mac!
• (2016-09-25) Olaoluwa Aremu: Works great on Mac OS X El Capitan. However the play/pause key no longer works with my iTunes... I suppose that i'll have to disable the extension temporarily for that to start working again. Thanks for making this.
• (2016-09-03) Zac M: ONLY THE PAUSE BUTTON WORKED =/
• (2016-08-31) Zach Herman: Windows 7 Pro - works perfectly. Now I can pause/play using the spacebar when someone walks into my office. That's all I wanted. Thanks!
• (2016-08-26) Carl Posz: works great on my mac but not on my windows 10 computer. hard to rate an app like that. I see some are running mixed device so I'm not sure why it won't work on my windows 10 machine.
• (2016-07-01) edon: For what it is, I really enjoy it. Although it does not work in some programs, it works in most and that is very okay. Thanks for this!
• (2016-06-02) James Morris: Would be a five star if i could skip songs with this also
• (2016-05-03) Jesse Hemstad: Works as advertised. Had to refresh the Pandora window in Chrome before it would work. But now I have play/pause! Thanks for a great extension.
• (2016-04-21) Josh Stockwell: I read the reviews and was skeptic. It did not work when I first installed it. But then I closed and opened chrome and it worked fine.
• (2016-03-18) Doesn't work at all for me in Windows 10.
• (2016-03-10) Andrew Butler: Ditto to David Sofio. Media key doesn't work, changed to Ctrl+Left Arrow (nice because these keys are close together) and it works, but it's not immediate--takes a second or two.
• (2016-01-27) Andrew Shassere: Works perfectly.
• (2016-01-23) Matthew gaydos: This use to work great but now when hitting the hotkey it slowly fades the audio in and out and is really annoying but I rate it for what it use to be
• (2016-01-07) Caleb Peterson: Plan on using this to implement a really cool new device idea I came up with. Works well so far.
• (2015-12-26) Jay Godwin: Works but needs to have a skip function implemented
• (2015-12-01) Wade Wilson: Previously, extension worked perfectly as described. Recently however, media play/pause hasn't been working for me if chrome is running in the background. For example, if my window is focused on a another program, button doesn't work. It still works fine if I am chrome and window is focused. (using Windows 7 & newest version of chrome)
• (2015-11-09) ShaLi Shaltiel: Works great on OSX
• (2015-10-15) Daniel Wood: Awesome! It even works on OSX. It would have a solid 5 stars if you could include additional functionality to where the keyboard "Previous/Rewind" key downvoted a song, and the "Next/FastForward" key would just skip the current song. Or let me at your source code and I'll update it :) Great and simple tool though, thanks!
• (2015-08-25) Kyle Starr: This is so simple a effective. I only wish that I had discovered it sooner! Just and FYI to everyone installing this, I had to restart chrome to get it to work.
• (2015-08-16) Eugene Rosenfeld: Works great!

• (2020-12-14, v:0.8) Justin McFall: Keys not working
  Hi, is this still being supported? The only key that works is Play / Pause but that only pauses playback and won't resume. Furthermore, it seems like after I pause it, trying to resume it from the play button on the site causes the song to buffer indefinitely? Using Chrome 87 on Windows 10
