Skip Songs Without Leaving Your Work While doing SEO audits
Change tracks with a keystroke, not a window switch.
💡 Overview
A bad song at the wrong time is a small tax on concentration. Dozens of tabs of search results hide a single music tab.
Next and previous track are bound to Shift+Alt+Right and Shift+Alt+Left by default. The extension passes the command to the Web Player in the background, so the song changes while your work window keeps focus. There is no flash of another tab and no lost cursor position.

Crawlers, spreadsheets and search results fill your tabs.
The problem: Dozens of tabs of search results hide a single music tab.
The fix: Rely on the popup to find the Web Player instead of digging through your tab strip.
🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Press Shift+Alt+Right the moment a track stops helping.
- Press Shift+Alt+Left to jump back to the previous track.

✨ What You Get
- Mouse-wheel volume: Scroll over the player for fine volume steps, plus one-tap mute memory.

| Scope | Any app, any tab | Spotify Web Player (open.spotify.com) only |
| Skipping a track | Switch window, click next, switch back | Shift+Alt+Right from any window |
| Resource use | A full tab in the foreground | Observer-based, near-zero overhead |
| Pausing music | Find the tab, click pause, return | One keystroke |
Note: it works with the Spotify Web Player at open.spotify.com only, and does not control the desktop app.
