…Foxy…Media Player…
| Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 | --Sean |
FoxyTunes has always been a fun way to take advantage of the fact that you're living your life through your browser already -- news, games, email, messaging, friends 2.0 -- by using it to control all of your music players, too. What seems new, though, is the fancy integration with the Yahoo! Media Player that lets you control all of the music inside your browser as well as outside of it. When the new version of FoxyTunes notices that a page has direct links to music files, it can automatically instrument the page with the Media Player (saving you the trouble of relying on the site itself to do that, even though everyone should 'cause it's super easy), and also allow you to control the Media Player from standard FoxyTunes interface. It's a really impressive integration that does a great job of merging an one of our acquired companies with an innovative homegrown product. I guess there was some reason that we bought 'em, aside from their awesome name!
And in case you don't want a music toolbar going around instrumenting (ha, I just realized the pun, nice) your web experience all willy-nilly, you can disable the Media Player integration through the FoxyTunes Configuration.

Hi Sophia! So, FoxyTunes isn’t really a downloading tool — it’ll play any music that you stumble across on the web or that you already have on your computer (through the external music player integration), but it’s not really designed to help find more. Does that help answer your question?
We certainly don’t discriminate against music from any other country, at least. :D If you do find a website that links directly to an MP3 of Chinese music, then nothing will stop you from playing it using FoxyTunes.
