/sidedig

Keep digging while you work. Floating music controls, saved finds and Sidechat. Make it yours with custom colours and artwork.

/sidedig Keep digging while you work. Free to use. Supporting MIDGAR is optional. /sidedig brings the music players in your open Chrome tabs into one floating controller. Listen through Bandcamp releases, SoundCloud tracks and sets, and YouTube videos and playlists while you keep working in another app. LISTEN YOUR WAY • Play, pause, seek, and move through supported track lists. • Auto skim previews the opening and points at 25%, 50% and 75%. Adjust the listening time in Settings, or choose Keep playing to hear the rest. • Switch between detected music tabs across Chrome windows. At the end of a supported queue, optionally continue to the next music tab. • Adjust playback speed with a pitch range and Master Tempo option where the source supports them. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Compact, Horizontal, Narrow, Mini, Mini horizontal or Micro. Collapse to a floating launcher when you need the space. Enlarge the controls, change individual colours, save named palettes or randomize them. Add your own PNG, JPG or SVG artwork and adjust its opacity, crop, rotation, mirroring and tint. Your preferences stay on this device. KEEP YOUR FINDS Save a track from its heart button, then browse your chronological archive from the toolbar heart. Each find keeps its title, artist, platform, link, date and time. Where supported, /sidedig also tries the platform's own Like or Wishlist control. Export your register as a Word document or copy it into Google Docs. Platform saves may need a login; Bandcamp usually saves the release. SHARE A FIND Sidechat is an optional room for side diggers. Choose an ending after “side”, join, and share the selected track. Load preview prepares a shared track; Play starts it and pauses your music. Close the preview with X to return to your previous track and position. Nothing you listen to is shared automatically. GET STARTED Open a supported music page, click /sidedig in Chrome's Extensions menu, choose a Music tab and click Start digging. Keep Chrome and your music tabs open. The illustrated offline User guide is in the extension popup. PLEASE NOTE Primary sources are Bandcamp album/track pages, SoundCloud players, YouTube watch pages/playlists and DigDeeper lists. Support varies by page and platform; this is not a universal player for every website. Modified catalogue pages, shops and wishlists may not form a playable queue. Chrome, the source site or a network problem may require another Play click or a visit to the source page. Chrome controls the floating window's outer frame and size limits. Saved finds and appearance are local to this Chrome profile and do not automatically sync between devices. Sidechat messages are public to the room; the last 40 are kept for up to 30 minutes, and abuse reports for up to 7 days. Optional access to ordinary webpages is used only to show the launcher there.
