Firefox Trick: Rhapsody Player Sidebar
Thursday, February 07, 2008
Firefox is an awesome browser. In addition,
Rhapsody is an awesome music service. So, using the two together makes perfect sense, right? I certainly think so, but the thing is, I don't really like how the Rhapsody playlist appears in its own little window - I would much rather have it open in the sidebar, so that it stays right with me in an easy to access spot as I browser Rhapsody and the rest of the web. Fortunately, not only is it possible to get the Rhapsody player to open in the Firefox sidebar, it's easy to do and doesn't require more than a minute to set up. (Read the full post for the instructions.)
All you need to do is set up a bookmark for the Rhapsody Player (not, mind you, for Rhapsody.com, but for the player itself):
1. Open your Bookmarks menu (or go to the Bookmarks toolbar), right click where you want your bookmark to appear, and select "New Bookmark" from the right-click menu.
2. Name the Bookmark something like "Rhapsody Player," and past "http://www.rhapsody.com/player" into the Location box.
3. Check the Load this bookmark in the sidebar box.
Done!
Using the bookmark is easy:
1. Go to Rhapsody.com and log in.
2. Open in Bookmark.
3. Start adding music.
Nothing more to it than that. Once you've logged in and opened your bookmarked player you're free to browse around Rhapsody or any other website all you want - the player will run nicely in the sidebar and keep you logged in and your music playing.Labels: Music, Tech/Internet
