[ Install FindThatBand 1.1 for Google Chrome ]

What has changed?

Drastically reduced amount of memory used

Other things you should know

The extension was continually gobbling up kilobytes of memory every few seconds. After sending FindThatBand to fat camp, I’m proud to announce that it has learned to control its insatiable appetite.

Over 150 users in only its first two weeks! Not bad. A big thank you to Polina Polishchuk for the bump.

Also, if you could tell me which web browser(s) you use, I’d appreciate it.

[ Install FindThatBand 1.0.3 for Google Chrome ]

FindThatBand is now a multi-browser extension! Welcome Google Chrome users!

How to use the extension

Select the text of a band or artist you wish to search for on a webpage and press the CTRL key twice to see a popup menu of various search services.

To hide the menu, press the CTRL key again or the ESCAPE key.

This menu can be modified by clicking the FindThatBand icon in the upper-right hand corner of the browser. You can drag & drop the services to rearrange them to your liking. You can also click the green circles to hide services you don’t wish to use, and click the grey circles to show hidden services. Be sure to click Save, otherwise your changes will be lost.

Missing features (for Firefox refugees)

Right-click functionality (replaced with pressing the CTRL key twice)
Sub-menu functionality (not needed anymore) 
Localization 

Other things you should know

I’ll be releasing updates of FindThatBand in the future for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. I strongly urge Firefox users to consider switching to Google Chrome for its speed (it’s really fast).

Big thanks to m0 and jamesr in #chromium on freenode for all the help.

Again, if you would like to translate FindThatBand in your native language, please contact me.

[ Install FindThatBand for Google Chrome ]

What has changed?

Added Grooveshark search
Created smart search system (see below)

Other things you should know

The smart search system automatically checks if Grooveshark is already open, and therefore won’t interrupt your current playlist. Pretty cool, huh?

I hope this is the last update for FindThatBand. I’ve had a much bigger, more versatile add-on in my mind for quite some time, but I haven’t been able to work on it for a number of reasons. FindThatBand will pale in comparison to this new creation, as it will place power directly into the users’ hands and create a community of development unto itself.
