There are so many great online services for listening to music nowadays that it just dazzles their eyes. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t choose my "one and only", so I listen alternately to Google Play Music, Zvooq, Deezer and YouTube. And for convenient management of all these services, I use the Yandex. Music extension.

It is quite logical to assume that the Yandex. Music extension is intended for playing music from the service of the same name. However, this assumption will not be entirely correct. This extension works not only with the music service from the Yandex company, but also with a large number of other online players.

As soon as you open one of the popular streaming services, the extension picks up information from its page. As a result, the logo of this site, the name of the artist and the name of the current song are displayed in the drop-down extension window. And also, as you can see, there are buttons for controlling playback and switching tracks.

It becomes even more interesting if you open several music services at once. In this case, all of them will be displayed in the Yandex. Music extension and it will be possible to switch playback between them in one click. Very fast and convenient!

Another great feature of this built-in player is the ability to control playback with hotkeys. Once you have configured the keyboard shortcuts that are convenient for you, you no longer have to break away from work, switch to the tab of the music service, look for the rewind button on this page, and so on. Now you can switch tracks, stop and start playback, and even rate songs without taking your hands off the keyboard.

To activate this function, you need to open the Chrome browser extensions page, then rewind it to the very bottom and click on the "Keyboard shortcuts" link. In the window that appears, find the "Yandex. Music" section and set the keyboard shortcuts convenient for you.

But that's not all. Do you see the "More Music" button in the upper left corner of the extension window? Behind it is a good radio that offers endless streams of music in accordance with your mood, occupation, favorite genre, and so on. It's great that there is an opportunity to tag the songs you like, as a result of which the radio learns and adapts to your tastes.
