This extension will make all spotify links open in your desktop app instead of the web player
Are you tired of links from Spotify always opening in the web player instead of the desktop version as it used to? Look no further, this extension takes care of your problem. By installing Magnetify, all links in your browser will open directly in the Spotify desktop application!
Searching for songs in Spotify have never been easier! While you're browsing and stumbling over an artist or song you'd like to listen to, simply select the text, right click and select search from Magnetify. A box will then appear with the 10 most popular results, which you can select to play from. It's that easy.
Did you forget to save a song that you listened to earlier? Just open Magnetify from the browser icon, and a list of your 10 latest links will appear. These items are also automatically synced with your Google account, so you can get access to them from all your devices running Chrome.
PS: Restart your browser in order to get full functionality

- The only one I've found that works. Great job, dev!
- Ramzi
- Finally, links opened on my Macbook open up the Spotify App, instead of the web player. Spotify needs to hire this guy, because they're clueless.
- Mike Carlson
- Worked like a charm for me at first, but now it won't work. Just stops the webplayer from opening in chrome, but doesn't do anything to the Spotify desktop app.
- Marius Minde
- Simple, easy, perfect!

- Doesn't work, just stops web player from opening and adds to the cue in the extension

- It does start the desktop player but the player says link not found every time

- Doesn't work, just seems to stop the webplayer from opening rather than opening in desktop.
