It used to work perfectly and i configired the shortcuts to CNTRL + right arrow for skip, left arrow for previous and space for stopping, but now it only opens a new spotify tab every time i click these keys. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Having issues, my chromebook reset and the extension disappeared. Upon re-installation the extension is grey and doesn't work. Help?

Really like it, awesome that the shortcuts work from other tabs. What would be awesome is to customize the hotkeys. :) **edit: SORRY! I didn't read your description. We're able to customize the shortcuts. :$ i tried messing with your code, but this also works. 5stars.**

This is awesome! Although the Spotify web app itself stops playing every so often, this is a great add-on for anyone using it. EDIT: When I put the Chrome hotkeys to "global", it doesn't work sometimes. I'll try using the other mode and see how that works. EDIT: I've tried it again, but it doesn't work at all...:(

does not work just opens another spotify tab

Maddy 2015-09-26

Works perfect! No Lag b/w the shortcut keys press and web player reaction:) Global setting helps it control from desktop too. Restart chrome once if its not working as intended!

shortcuts dont work. launches new tab with spotify player rather than pausing.

Oliver Schmidt 2015-03-19

The extension worked perfectly until yesterday. Spotify has obviously updated the web player. Now instead of start/pause a new Spotify browser tab is opened. I hope this will be fixed soon.

Funktioniert tadellos. Scrollen Sie für die Konfiguration die Liste Ihrer Erweiterungen herunter (chrome://extensions/), um hier den Verweis „Tastenkombination“ zu nutzen. In dem anschließenden Dialogfenster können Sie eigene Einstellungen vornehmen.

No me ha servido, incluso cambiando los atajos.

It's brilliant! You don't have to pay for Spotify Web Player; the free version of the downloaded Spotify has ads, whereas the online one doesn't. This app allows you to skip songs/play/pause/rewind songs for the web player. (NOTE: Go to your extensions, then go to the bottom, it should say "Keyboard Shortcuts", after that select what keys you want to have as the skip/play/pause/previous buttons and ensure it's on global as this will allow you to control the web player on and off Chrome.) I highly recommend!

Thanh Nguyen 2014-11-25

It would be great, if there was also a hotkey to star songs!

NICHOLAS JHOSHTNER 2014-11-20

this is one of the best music apps

Shane White 2014-10-23

Thank you!! This works great!

David Utterman 2014-10-23

Awesome, works without having Chrome active. Also it works with the keyboard media keys! 5 out of 5, nice work.

David Aman 2014-06-13

After restarting Chrome, this worked perfectly. Got my multimedia keyboard programmed. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!! *update* I just discovered I can change the hotkeys to work outside of Chrome too, and now I can control Spotify without having to switch to Chrome first. This makes it even perfect-er! Perfectlier? perfectx2.

Dale Davies 2014-03-10

Perfect. NOTE: You can change the shortcut keys to anything you like in chrome://extensions at the the bottom, 'Keyboard Shortcuts'

Susanna Winter 2014-01-31

Does what it says on the tin. Had to hunt for the keyboard settings for a while but once I found it, it was easy to configure -- I now can control the Spotify web player with my media keyboard.

Andreas Scharf 2014-01-10

awesome! does exactly what it says :) but please think of a different set of standard keys, because for example, on the german QWERTZ keyboard layout, it is not possible to select the previous song because < and > are the same key (when you press alt + shift)
