Control your Media Player from your Browser with FoxyTunes

Wouldn't you like to Control your media player and songs right from your Browser without minimizing it?
If yes then FoxyTunes can help you with that. Its an addon for your browser that controls your (already installed) media player while your surf!


Currently only Firefox and IE are supported by FoxyTunes.
After installation in IE it fits itself below the bookmarks toolbar while in Firefox it settles down in right corner of the status bar below.

This little add-on is so smart that it automatically fetches Artist's and Album's names of the track currently being played as soon as you place the cursor over the music icon button.

HOW TO USE?

* FoxyTunes has same buttons as you see in any media player. Play, Pause, Stop, Next and Previous Tracks with Volume control.

* The Media Player button will pop open your currently running media player in background.

* You can open any media file by clicking "Play File" button next to volume controller.

* Click the button with music icon, and you'll see the main menu.

* Go to configuration> Keyboard Shortcuts and you can set keyboard shortcuts for play/pause volume etc...

* You may hide the whole FoxyTunes bar (except the button with Music icon) or may hide some of the button that you want.

* Moreover you can search for or view the details of the running track (by clicking the button with up arrow) from the "FoxyTunes Planet" which is owned by Yahoo! Music.

This Search retrieves Song's details with artist's name from:

- Yahoo! Web Search
- Lyrics from Yahoo! Music
- Video from both Youtube & Yahoo! Music.
- Track's Link from Rapshody and Last.fm
- Artist's Photos from Flickr
- Album Details from Amazon

All above things in small widgets and all in one page!!

CUSTOMIZATIONS

FoxyTunes is one of the very few add-ons that lets you to install skins.

- By default it comes with small round buttons with dull gray color. You can install Skins for FoxyTunes. Just like I've installed with big shiny buttons ;)

- You can move FoxyTunes anywhere around the browser. Just click and hold the small triangle icon and drag n drop it anywhere you want in your browser.


And Yah! ... It also has little "Alarm Clock" and Sleep Timer" functionality integrated that you might also wanna try! :)

My Experience with the Beta:

I've been using BitDefender Total Security 2010 Beta 2 for past 15 days on my XP SP2 and having no issues with it.
I wish it could show me some problems, so I can report them...but No!
Its just running absolutely fine.

- No bugs, No system Slow downs whatsoever.
- No issues with updates.
- In fact Scan time is greatly reduced and Its kinda more responsive.

Advance Mode - Click the screenshot to see the full preview in new window

But if you are Windows 7 user, you might face some issues, and in fact most of the bugs submitted at Beta Center are from Windows 7 users.


Note: If you are using BitDefender in your system right now, you need to uninstall the current version completely, restart the system, and then install the Beta version.
