Play Music August 7th, 2022

Very easy to use and provide track info you won't get on the FIP website (like release year, pointer to Spotify, last FM etc.) Makes it very easy to listen to FIP on PC. Radio France should reward the author of this extension!

This review is for the app. It only works when the extension popup window is active, after that you get about 30 sec of streaming then you need click on the extension icon to reactivate. I love the station. Wish I could actually listen to it.

Only works when the extension popup window is active, after that you get about 30 sec of streaming then you need click on the extension icon to reactivate. I suspect a permission problem for streaming in the background. The workaround is to open a dedicated Chrome window bring up the extension popup window and don't touch it and use another Chrome window to browse in foreground Other that that I love the song/album info, the link to Spotify and calendar/year that why I use this extension to listen to FIP
