Audio Player
Description from store

Features:
Volume Boost: It can boost the audio level up to twice its original value, similar to VLC Player.
Format Support: It plays a wide range of audio formats and can handle audio streams from video containers.
Media Key Support: Supports media keys for Play, Pause, Resume, Next, and Previous tracks.
Sequential Playback: Plays multiple audio files sequentially, emulating the behavior of a desktop media player.
Offline Usage: Works offline, meaning it doesn't require an internet connection once installed.
JavaScript-based: The extension is written purely in JavaScript, making it a cross-platform solution.
Shuffle and Repeat: It offers options to shuffle the playlist and repeat a single track or all tracks.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Supports keyboard shortcuts for various functions.
Playlist Support: Allows users to create and manage playlists within the player.
Native Integration: Integrates natively with ChromeOS and Chrome OS Flex, enabling media file handling through the right-click context menu.
Use Cases:
OS Limitations: It's useful for users on operating systems that do not allow the installation of native media players or on Chromium OS.
Audio Stream Playback: It is handy when you only want to listen to the audio from a media file, like a concert recording.
How to Use:
To use the extension, download an audio file that your browser can't play due to unsupported codecs and drop it into the audio player. You can obtain sample AVI or FLV files for testing using a specific website (https://webbrowsertools.com/test-download-with/).

Technical Notes:
The extension uses the decoder section of the FFmpeg library, enabling it to decode various audio codecs.
It uses Emscripten to compile FFmpeg into WebAssembly (WASM), making it compatible with web browsers.

This extension is a handy solution for users looking to play a wide range of audio formats directly within their web browser, even when their operating system restricts the installation of native media players. It provides extensive format support, advanced features, and native integration for an enhanced user experience.

Used to work just fine 2 weeks ago, but now it doesn't anymore. I use(d) it to play Wav files in my browser.

Just works! Thanks! Especially useful if you want to broadcast your audio on any system to Google Mini. Google Chrome has that feature, so if you simply install this amazing app, you can cast your audio from Linux, macOS or Windows to your favourite speaker. :)

Exactly what I have been searching for: Import multiple local files (import folders would be helpful), allow shuffel. I do not need any more. Thanks!
Robert Ritter
It's okay. It's annoying that I can't add a folder of music, but have to add each file. Since my music is organized by artist/album, I have to go to every album directory to add the songs. Not any better than ChromeOS Gallery.

The extension is simple to use. If it supports live caption, it would be more useful.

Extremely useful for teaching online classes on Google Meet when you need to play audio clips in the Meet. I wish that it had a button to view the current playlist to skip tracks, like the Media Player Extension.

Минималистичный аудиоплеер, папка локальных файлов добавляется в плейлист перетаскиванием на окошко проигрывателя. Единственное, чего не хватает - управления громкостью при помощи колеса мышки. *** Great! Can you add volume up-down with mouse wheel, please?

Thx! Exactly what I was looking for. Simple way to play local files and cast it to my speakers.
