Chrome: If you’re a frequent Pandora, Grooveshark, or other popular streaming music station listener, Unity Player puts play control and song info on the Chrome Toolbar.

Rather than sending you digging through your tabs to find the window with Pandora–or Google Music, Grooveshark, 8Tracks, Hypemachine, or any of the other dozen supported services–Unity Player pulls up a one-click control panel for easy pause/play, skip, and access to other service features like thumbs up/down flagging.

Unity Player is free, works wherever Chrome does.
