CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.
Publisher's description
From Alex Sirota :FoxyTunes is an Extension for Mozilla Firefox that supports the Mozilla Suite and Mozilla Thunderbird. It allows you to control your favorite media player without leaving the browser. The controls are positioned on the status bar or one of the toolbars, so no extra space is wasted. FoxyTunes has several nice features. You can control the playback, adjust the volume, and see what's playing. Many more features are in development, among them advanced music-related searches.
Version 2.0.2 allows hiding the search button from track title panel.

Version: FoxyTunes 2.0.4
"Easy control for any media player"
Pros: Easily integrates with all of the popular media players, good controls including the name of song and time in your status bar, simple and easy to use, is updated consistently, integrates well with Firefox browser status bar, you can download different skins from its website, excellent tools and hide options, well put together, free! Newly added - a cool little pop-up window with the current song's name, time, and album cover that you can keep up or hide. Absolutely necessary for a music-lover, but useless if you don't play music much.
Cons: Could use a skins manager which could have several skins installed at once, and you could switch between them. I have contacted them about this and they say it is hard because the skins are all authored by individual users not them.
