For those digital music geeks and also just the other generally really cool folks who like to organize and simplify their online music life, look no further because Dan Kantor has created another fabulous solution: Extension.FM.
Extension.FM is a Google Chrome extension (yes this means you have to install Google Chrome, but you will be glad you did, I think). It keeps track of all of the online music you encounter as you surf across various music blogs like Spinner, Pitchfork, Tuneage, and Fluxblog. Like an elephant, but much faster than an elephant, Extension.fm remembers every single web reference, all the song metadata, including album art etcetera that you find as you surf. In fact as of today, it also can import the top 50 songs from your Tumblr dashboard. The result? A web-based personalized music discovery experience that aggregates your favorite sources and helps you simplify your web-based listening into one place. It also scrobbles to Last.fm (sweet!).
What’s next? I dunno – probably whatever is coolest that the best users of Extension.fm (like me) ask for most. I think it’s local playlisting support. But I could be wrong. It could be a social filter, or two. Hell, it’s great already, so everything else will be gravy!
