What’s new in version 3.0.4?

                Do you find yourself bookmarking youtube videos/songs that you like?  If you do, this chrome extension is for you.  When you install it, the user-friendly interface displays three easy steps for you to follow: locate the folders that hold your youtube bookmarks (my folder names are "Music", "Music 2", and "Music 3"), type in the names of those folders into the extension separated by a comma ("Music,Music 2,Music 3"), and finally, choose whether to listen to the songs in-order or shuffled and you'll begin listening to hours of music.

After you click the "Shuffle" or "In-order" button, a small window will appear and you can relax from there on out; the chrome extension will automatically select a new song and play it once the old song is over.

Works like a charm. I have a folder with 50+ bookmarks and it was a pain to scroll through the list to choose songs at random. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead!

Works perfectly for my purposes. I had compiled huge folders of YouTube links, but I didn't have time to create a playlist. This extension makes a non-YouTube playlist that automatically selects random videos from a folder. Requests I have are for a feature that goes through links in order, or to create a real YouTube playlist, though I realize the latter might be difficult. I've been using it for about a year, without any notable issues. Thanks for the great extension!

I had clicked the extension hoping it would make a playlist on YouTube itself... however, upon trying it, it pretty much does what a YouTube playlist does by itself (play a list). And for my purposes, that's all I wanted to do. I'm not even using it for music. I just like bookmarking videos since it's quicker to do that than wait for a YouTube page to load to save a video to a playlist haha
