SoundControl Adds Pandora Playback Controls & Notifications To Chrome

Leave a comment
Extensions for controlling YouTube are very common and some of them can be quite powerful. What’s odd is that there aren't nearly as many extensions made for services like Pandora, Grooveshark, or Soundcloud, Pandora possibly being the most left out of the three. If you’re trying to find a convenient way to control Pandora, SoundControl Beta for Pandora might be the perfect solution . It’s a Chrome extension that gives you one button to play, pause, and skip songs. The button must be clicked a certain number of times to execute the function associated with it, and is customizable. SoundControl Beta for Pandora also gives you desktop notifications when a new song plays, and lets you select the volume of the ads and directly switch to the tab you have Pandora open in. The extension remembers the last song you were listening to, along with its last position during playback, so if you close Pandora, the same song that you were last listening to will resume from where you left off, the next time you open it.

Completely Control Pandora Playback From iPhone Lock Screen With ThumbsUp

Pandora users, rejoice! What the famous service hasn't been able to do for its iPhone app has been accomplished by a third-party developer and released at the Cydia store. Pandora for iOS has always - rather annoyingly - lacked lock screen controls. You can keep listening to music from Pandora while using other apps or even when on the lock screen, but you have to launch Pandora itself every time you need to skip a track, add it to your bookmarks or give it a thumbs up. A lot of people have been demanding support for lock screen controls and now you can have them, thanks to a Cydia tweak by the name of ThumbsUp. The tweak lets you take full control of Pandora playback without ever having to open the app again and again. The buttons added to the lock screen are pretty neat, and look like they have been added to your iPhone by the Pandora client itself. Read More

Gather & Play Music From Multiple Sources Under One Roof With Songdrop

We listen to music from a lot of different sources; SoundCloud, Grooveshark, Pandora, YouTube, Last.fm, the list just goes on and one. At times, the services we use decide to play nice with each other and allow us to transfer our preferences from one to the other. At other times, we can use apps to help us connect these services and consolidate our listening experience in just one service. Songdrop is one such web service that acts as a song aggregator. It allows you to add songs to groups, which the service calls Mixes, from any website. There is a small catch though: you can drop a song (add it to the service) only from the song's own page. In addition to creating your own mixes, you can search other users’ mixes too and if you like the songs they have, you can drop them into your own collection. The service also has a dedicated Chrome extension, while users of other browsers can use the service’s bookmarklet to add songs. Read More

Flutter is an amazing app available for Mac and Windows that lets you control iTunes, Windows Media Player, Spotify, Powerpoint, Netflix and more by using your webcam and hand gestures.

To use the extension, you must have the Flutter desktop app already installed. The extension allows the app to control YouTube, Grooveshark, Netflix, and Pandora regardless of which tab or window they are open in. Read More

Unblock Hulu & Pandora Access With Media Hint For Chrome & Firefox

Some of the best online services are restricted to select locations. If you don’t live in the right part of the world, you are barred access to web services like Pandora and Hulu, which make for a great online radio and TV experience respectively. The workaround for most people in this case is to use a proxy that unblocks websites that restrict their viewers geographically, or that have been restricted by court ruling within a country. The only problem with proxies is that, with time, they start to stream slowly when the servers can't handle the influx of users and insert ads on websites that normally don’t have them. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) might give you better results, but only if you have a paid plan. Free VPN services are limited on bandwidth, and as their usability is spread across all internet traffic, they tend to slow everything down. Media Hint is a proxy service with a dedicated Firefox add-on and Chrome extension meant to unblock Hulu and Pandora only.

Managing music is never easy, especially if you have several devices that you like to listen to Music. It gets even more complicated when you’ve subscribed to several different services. Music services are rarely built to play nice with each other, since they have to compete. You will occasionally find a way to scrobble tracks from Last.fm to Grooveshark, but that is about as lucky as you get. Pandora to Spotify Playlist Converter is a Chrome extension that allows you to easily import the tracks from Pandora to Spotify. The extension doesn’t automate the process nor does it connect your Pandora account to your Spotify one. What it does is analyze the tracks you’ve liked on Pandora and find the Spotify link for each one. You can then use the link to easily add those songs to your Spotify playlist. Read More

Pandora is a music streaming service with quite a lot of followers. For such a popular service, it makes sense that some of its users must be on Windows Phone 7. Unfortunately, there is no official Pandora app for WP7 yet, despite the presence of a considerable WP7 contingent among Pandora’s subscribers. However, what isn’t available officially on the Mango platform, usually makes its way to the Marketplace via third-party clients. Same is the case with Pandora, which has now got Radio Controlled, an app that will let you do just about anything related to your Pandora account, and while listening to its radio, you aren’t likely to feel that you are not using Pandora’s official app. Read More

Pandora Internet Radio is the most customizable radio service that streams free music to your phone. If you are an Androider with special interest in Music, then Pandora is probably installed on your Android phone already. Recently Pandora placed a “listening cap” on their service. According to creators of Pandora, the “listening cap” has been introduced to keep control “costs”. Many folks don’t really agree to Pandora’s point of view and in retaliation to that, there is now a modified Pandora App available without any listening cap or limit. Phia, XDA Member and developer, has released this unlimited Pandora app that lets you listen to your favorite music without worrying for streaming limits. According to Phia, he tinkered with the app for himself and is now making it public in order to help folks get their music all month long. We aren’t sure how Pandora will react to this one, but until it is available; its worth a shot!

Tunnelbear – Free VPN To Access Popular Blocked Websites Around The World

I really hate that obnoxious text line which reads something like "this website cannot be accessed from your current location". Okay, no worries, we can use a VPN to gain access. There are many paid services which provide VPN and proxy services to access restricted websites like Hulu, Pandora, Spotify, etc., from anywhere. However, seldom do we come across free applications which have the potential of bypassing restrictions imposed by location restricted websites. TunnelBear is a VPN application which gives US and UK based IPs to allow direct access to popular location restricted websites, without causing any streaming hiccups. When you use TunnelBear, your network traffic is routed through the Tunnel Bear VPN to disguise your actual location. Using TunnelBear, we were easily able to access location restricted websites like Hulu, Spotify and Pandora. Another noteworthy aspect of TunnelBear is that it is not an ad-supported application like other applications of its kind, such as, HotSpot Shield. Read More
