SpotiPlonk: Open Spotify Links in Desktop Client
SpotiPlonk is a Chrome add-on that allows users to open Spotify HTTP links directly in the Spotify desktop client instead of the web client. This handy tool eliminates the need to switch between the browser and the desktop app when accessing Spotify content.
With SpotiPlonk, when a Spotify HTTP link is clicked, it automatically opens the link in the Spotify desktop client, providing a seamless transition from the browser to the desktop app. Additionally, if a browser tab is opened while using SpotiPlonk, it will be automatically closed, reducing clutter and improving efficiency.
It's important to note that in order to use SpotiPlonk with older versions of Spotify, users must have the "Allow Spotify to be started from the Web" option enabled in the Preferences menu of the Spotify desktop player.
In the latest version 1.0.6, SpotiPlonk now also supports the https-links produced by recent versions of Spotify. This ensures compatibility and a smooth experience for users.
Furthermore, in version 1.0.5, SpotiPlonk has made an improvement where if a link is opened from another application, it will return focus to that application instead of showing Chrome. This small but thoughtful enhancement enhances the overall user experience.
SpotiPlonk is a free add-on and falls under the Browsers category, specifically the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. It provides a convenient solution for Spotify users who prefer using the desktop client over the web client when accessing Spotify content.
