Guide: Stream Local Music on Chrome and Firefox Browser: Tips
You don’t need a scientific study to prove that listening to music can make us more efficient and productive. I always prefer music in the background while I’m working. Helps me to zoom in on what I’m doing. Since almost all of my work is in the browser, I prefer when my music can be played from there as well. From Spotify to YouTube music streamer, there are many services that let you listen to music online right from your browser. Cheerful photo editor working at her desk with a graphics tablet.

Still, it would be an added benefit to stream the music I own directly to my browser. So let’s see how to listen to your offline MP3 music in Chrome and Firefox.
Achshar Player for Chrome
There are many different extensions and apps available in the Chrome App Store that allow you to play music stored on the computer. But Achshar Player is the best I think. After the app is installed in your browser, you can drag and drop your offline collection to it or add an entire folder to the library.
After you have the files in the library, you can play them and continue your work. The app also gives you the option to create playlists. Just create a new empty playlist and then drag and drop the files from the main library to add them.
The app has a feature which searches your music library by song, artist or album name. The search takes place in real time and the results are displayed as you type. But while the app is great, it really needs work on the user interface. Also the developers should work features such as hotkeys and shortcuts on the extension bar to control music playback.
So that’s How to play your offline music through Chrome. Now let’s take a look at Firefox.
Local music player for Firefox
Local Music Player for Firefox is a plug-and-play add-on that reads and queues all music files in a particular folder. To activate the add-on, click on the vinyl record button in the toolbar. The player is simple and you can shuffle and repeat your songs.
Local music player will notify you on the desktop when the track changes, but there is no way to search for a specific song in the list. Here too the user interface has to be worked on. For example, you can change the volume of the add-on, but you won’t get any visible feedback on the volume the player is currently set to.
Conclusion
So, these were two add-ons for Chrome and Firefox that can play your offline music files. None of these can be considered a replacement for a desktop player, but you can certainly use them when working in your browser. While they both still need a lot of work to be perfect, you can always suggest a better alternative if you know one. We would love to receive your feedback in the comments section.
