When playing a song a the audio will stop if I open then close a tab that autoplays a Youtube audio/video in Google Chrome (Version 104.0.5112.101 Official Build x86_64). The playlist will continue to show the current song but audio will not play unless I start playing audio for another youtube video causing the audio to overlap. Changing channels or stop/starting the audio stream in SomaFM-miniplayer does not restart sound output. To resume station output I most close the miniplayer and reopen it, however the next time I click on a youtube link the issue will occur again. This does not happen with the web based player.

Steps to reproduce:
Note: Does not occur consistently this will generally start occurring after 25 or so tabs have gone through the reproduction process then the problem will persist.

1. Play a station in miniplayer
2. Click on a Youtube video link (resulting in new open tab)
3. When audio from youtube video starts Close tab

Love this, thanks. I use it every day. I'd be happy to send you a small donation if you let me know the best way.

It would be very useful to have it available through brew.

is it possible to add external playlists that's not on somafm?

Hi, yesterday I was looking for the 'Seven Inch Soul' station and assumed that some stations might not been listed. But turns out it was on top and the list was't in alphabetical order lol.

Feature suggestion: This is just a shower thought tho not an issue :)
The starring function (or keep the liked tracks as a txt list) would be great. My solution for that is literally write down the name of the song to youtube, search for it and then add it to a playlist. An automated search in youtube with the played song's name.

SomaFM player is amazing. I've been using it for months and I love it's minimalism. Thank you so much.

Hi, I recently rediscovered SomaFM (lost the habit while working at a company that frowned on headphones as an obstacle to collaboration).

I tried the official player and your player, and I'm currently on the fence. I love the simplicity and unobtrusive design of having the entire UI behind a menubar icon rather than having a persistent app window. However, I like having a Favorite Stations list in the larger app, as well as the station descriptions. I don't know if you ever plan to add new features, but these are a few ideas that would tip the scale.

1. Display station/song on icon hover. Currently when I hover over the icon in the menubar, it says "Click to pause / Right click to show menu". It would be cool to also have something like "Now playing: Groove Salad, Recondite - Riant".
2. Station descriptions. If hover text is possible for items in menus, when hovering over a station name in the menu, it would be nice to have the station description pop up. I.e., when hovering over Groove Salad the hover text would say "A nicely chilled plate of ambient/downtempo beats and grooves."
3. Recent stations list in top menu. Changing the station now requires a right-click, then mouse down to the Stations submenu, then hunting for the station in the list, then clicking on it. If a list of recent stations (e.g., up to 10) was maintained in the top menu, it would be much faster to toggle between frequent stations with just a right-click and then a click on a station in the list.

Thanks for your work in building this!

After opening app and trying to select station Stations - list is empty No channels available

My use case is this: when I hear something I like, I find it in a YouTube music and like it. Now I have to retype the title by hand. I would like to either copy the name to the clipboard, or automatically save the name to a text file.

of course the best solution would be integration with youtube-music spotify or other services. but I understand that this is too time consuming, and I would really like your product to remain as concise as it is now

as far as I understand, now clicking on the name of the song in the context menu, we get the opening of apple music, in which, as a rule, nothing happens if you do not have a subscription. I think it would be great to open a google search query instead.

sorry for my confusion. I really miss the ability to like or copy the song name

No issue, just wanted to 👍 and say 🙏 thanks!

As an enjoyer of SomaFM-miniplayer I'd like it to play and pause when I click the play/pause buttons on my bluetooth devices so that I don't have to press play/pause on the SomaFM-miniplayer app.

This would mean I can play pause while walking around the house and not near my computer.
