• "Make Firefox rock out"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: FoxyTunes 1.2

If you love music but hate jumping from Firefox to music player and back whenever you want to adjust your tunes, FoxyTunes is the plug-in for you.

FoxyTunes gives you control of your favorite music player from within Firefox, so there's no more switching windows to get rid of that Barry Manilow ditty you forgot to delete. The interface is easy to use and offers a plethora of options. When opened, it shows a full navigation array, including play, pause, mute, next track, last track, volume adjustment, and the useful Show Player, which un-hides your music player. There's also a Hide Player button, as well as a music search tool, keyboard shortcuts, and a growing number of skins. The application supports 21 players, including iTunes, Winamp, RealPlayer, and XMPlay, as well as eight derivatives, and it has a Custom Player option. You can even search for lyrics and view the album art, all with a mouse-over and a click. When running, the add-on shows the current track title and artist, assuming you want it to. FoxyTunes' strengths lie in the depth of available features plus the level of customization.

Weaknesses? Only that you'll wish all Firefox add-ons were this good.

  "Make Firefox musicfox"

  by Foxhound4444 on December 11, 2005

  Pros: Great for those times where you are doing some serious research and you don't have time to file through those windows to your music player. This gives you hands on control right from your browser.

  "Perfect. A MUST-HAVE for hardcore browsing users with Music in their Blood"

  by vande75 on December 21, 2005

  Pros: This is an excellent Firefox Browser Extension.

  It is for people who browse and listen to music at the same time. Instead of switching between browser and media player, this extension helps using the functions of the default media player on the bottom of the browser in the Grey-Area which is usualy empty. This make is perfect because it never comes in your way.

  I can also see which song is playing. I can extend or minimize the area where the song title displays. If the area selected is too small, the text simply scrolls side to side like a Marguee.

  All the buttons are usefull for switching songs, volume, mute, song information, show-hide song info, open-close extension, main menu.

  It does not take up any space of the Firefox browser interface.

  It is very convenient and makes life a bit easier.

  The BEST part is, it is available FREE unlike most other developers who ask for $ for their extensions and plugins.

  It installed instantly.

  It did not slow down my browser or my internet connection.

  Starting the browser takes the same time as it did before I installed this extension.

  No Adware or Spyware. Im using McAfee Security Suite 2006 so I would know instantly if there was any spyware or adware in this extension.

  I thank the maker/s of this extention for sharing this extension for FREE.

  "Nice integrated WMP controller"

  by RoboticUAV on January 27, 2006

  Pros: FoxyTunes works pretty well, and sits nicely on the bottom bar.

  Cons: Takes a few seconds longer to load songs (then using WMP itself.)

  "Easy to Use"

  by surfpark on December 2, 2005

  Pros: A perfect add-on for FireFox. Allowing Windows users to control one of over 20 media players (even offering controls to the "classic" versions of serval) it makes it easy for anyone with a huge playlist to skip around.

  Cons: The problem with FoxyTunes is that the interface is so small. Sure, they make use of the space in the browser, but the small buttons are hard to see.
